Answer 2

Welcome students,

◆ Answer -

An aqueous solution of boric acid is acidic.

◆ Explanation -

• Lewis acid accepts electron from other entities.
• Here, it's important to keep in mind is that boric acid (H3BO3) doesn't dissociate in water to give H+ ions.
• Rather it accepts OH- ion from water to form (H4BO4)-.
• H3BO3 + H2O --> (H4BO4)- + H+
• As it accepts the electron, boric acid acts as Lewis acid here.

Hope you understand..
