Question

Is Boric acid is a protic acid. explain don't copy from internet please please give me correct answer

Answer 1

hiii

a proti acid is one which can ionise in solution to produse proton or hydronium ion...it is not protic acis since it does not ionise in h2o to give a proton.
Boric acid is not a protic acid.It accepts a pair of electron from OH- ion of water and acts as a lewis acid
B(OH)3 +2H20 -----[B(OH)4]-+H3O+

hope it helps u

Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak{Q{\underline{\underline{\textbf{\red{uestion :}}}}}}$


Boric acid is a protic acid or not..?



$\huge\mathfrak{A{\underline{\underline{\textbf{\red{nswer :}}}}}}$


Boric acid can't release H+ ion or proton. So, it is not a protic acid.


But it is electron deficient. So, can exist in hydrated form and regarded as Lewis acid...


$H_{3}BO_{3}$ --X--> $H_{2}BO_{3}^{-}$ + H+


$B(OH)_{3}\:+\:H-OH$ ----> $[B(OH)_{4}]^{-}$ + H+
