Question

Write a balanced equation for the reaction of elemental boron with each of the following (most of these reactions require high temperature):

(a) F2

 

 

 

(b) O2

Expert Solution
Step 1

In the balanced equation, the number of atoms in the left side equals to the number of the atoms in the right side of the reaction.

Step 2

The reaction of elemental boron with F2 is shown below:

B+F2→BF3

To balance the above reaction, the coefficient of 3 is placed before F2 and 2 is placed before B and BF3. The balanced equation is shown below:

2B+3F2→2BF3
