Other nonmetals form compounds that are structurallyanalogous to those of carbon, but these inorganic compounds areusually more reactive. Predict any missing products and writebalanced equations for each reaction: (a) the decomposition andchlorination of diborane to boron trichloride; (b) the combustion of pentaborane (B₅H₉) in O₂; (c) the addition of water to borazine’s double bonds (B₃N₃H₆, ) (d) the hydrolysis of trisilane(Si₃H₈) to silica (SiO₂) and H₂; (e) the complete halogenation ofdisilane with Cl₂; (f ) the thermal decomposition of H₂S₅ to hy-drogen sulfide and sulfur molecules; (g) the hydrolysis of PCl₅
