Chemical Equation:
2B + 3F₂ → 2BF₃
Word Equation:
Boron + Fluorine → Boron Trifluoride
Explanation:
* Boron (B) reacts with fluorine gas (F₂) to produce boron trifluoride (BF₃).
* This is a combination reaction, where two reactants combine to form a single product.
* The reaction is highly exothermic, meaning it releases a large amount of heat.
* Boron trifluoride is a colorless, toxic gas with a pungent odor. It is used in various applications, including as a catalyst in organic chemistry and as a component of rocket fuels.
