(a) Diborane (B2H6) is a highly reactive borohydride that can be used as rocket fuel. Calculate Δ? for synthesis from the elements as:

2B (s) + 3H2 (g) → B2H6 (g)

Use the following data:

4B (s) + 3O2 (g) → 2B2O. (S) Δ? = -2546 kJ mol-1

B2H6 (g) + 3O2 (g) → B2O3 (s) + 3H2O (g) Δ? = -2035 kJ mol-1

2H2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2H2O (l) Δ? = -572 kJ mol-1

H2O (l) → H2O (g) Δ? = 44 kJ mol-1

(b) Does the reaction increase or decrease entropy? Motivate your answer.
