MCQ
Boric acid is acid because its molecule:
- AContamp replaceable $H^+$.
- BGives up proton.
- ✓Accepts $\ce{OH^-}$ from water and releases proton.
- DCombines with proton from water molecule.
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Accepts $\ce{OH^-}$ from water and releases proton.
$\text{B(OG})_4+\text{H}_2\text{O}\rightarrow\text{B(OH)}^-_4+\text{H}^+$
