JEE Main2016Chemistryp Block Elements (Group 13 & 14)Actual
Identify the reaction which does not liberate hydrogen
Options
- AReaction of lithium hydride with B 2 H 6 .
- BElectrolysis of acidified water using Pt   electrodes.
- CReaction of zinc with aqueous alkali.
- DAllowing a solution of sodium in liquid ammonia to stand.
Correct answer
A. Reaction of lithium hydride with B 2 H 6 .
Step-by-step solution
LiH   react with B 2 H 6 to produce boron lithium hydride. The reaction proceeds in the medium of ester and complex form. 2 L i H + B 2 H 6 → 2 L i [ B H 4 ] So do not liberate H 2 gas.
