Solution

The correct options are
A H3BO3
B B2O3

Diborane catches fire spontaneously upon exposure to air. When diborane (B2H6) reacts with oxygen (or air) burns spontaneously to produce a large amount of heat. Thus, the reaction is exothermic. The reaction which takes place is:

B2H6+3O2B2O3+3H2O
ΔH=1976 KJmol1

Diborane react with water to form boric acid.
B2H6+6H2O2H3BO3+6H2
