The standard molar enthalpy of formation, of diborane cannot be determined directly because the compound cannot be prepared by reaction of boron and hydrogen. However, the value can be calculated. Calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of gaseous diborane(B2H6) using the following thermochemical information:
i) 4B(s) + 3O2(g) --> WB2O3(S) = -2509.1kJ
ii) 2H2(g) + O2(g) --> 2H2O(l) = - 571.7kJ
iii) B2H6(g) + 3O2(g) --> B2O3(s) + 3H2O(l) = -2147.5 kJ
