Q. What is true about orthoboric acid in aqueous medium?

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020The p-Block Elements - Part2

Solution:

$H _{3} BO _{3}+ H _{2} O \rightleftharpoons\left[ B ( OH )_{4}\right]^{-}+ H ^{+}$

$H_{3}BO_{3}$ is a weak monobasic acid it does not act as a $H^{+}$ donor but behaves as a Lewis acid.
