Diborane is formed from the elements as shown in equation $(i)$:
$2 B_{(s)} + 3 H_{2(g)} \longrightarrow B_2H_{6(g)} \dots (i)$
Given that:
$H_2O_{(l)} \longrightarrow H_2O_{(g)}, \quad \Delta H_1^{\circ} = 44 \, kJ$
$2 B_{(s)} + \frac{3}{2} O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow B_2O_{3(s)}, \quad \Delta H_2^{\circ} = -1273 \, kJ$
$B_2H_{6(g)} + 3 O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow B_2O_{3(s)} + 3 H_2O_{(g)}, \quad \Delta H_3^{\circ} = -2035 \, kJ$
$H_{2(g)} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2(g)} \longrightarrow H_2O_{(l)}, \quad \Delta H_4^{\circ} = -286 \, kJ$
The $\Delta H^{\circ}$ for the reaction $(i)$ is $..... \, kJ$.
