Write an equation for the formation of bf3 (g) from its elements in their standard states.

In nature, boron is monoatomic. Therefore, its formula is B.

On the other hand, fluorine is diatomic. Therefore, its formula is F2

Now, the basic unbalanced equation is:

B + F2 ... > BF3

Now, we need to balance this equation. As you can see, we have two fluorine moles entering the reaction and 3 formed in the products.

Balancing the equation, we will reach the following balanced reaction:

2B + 3F2 ... > 2BF3
