Question

Why boric acid is a very weak mono bacis acid explain with suitable equation

Answer 1

Any acid is defined as mono basic or dibasic or tri basic depending upon its capacity of giving H+ ion. Boric acid in water, accepts OH- ion acting as lewis acid and water releases H+ ions.

The reaction is :

B(OH)3 + H2O → H+ + [ B(OH)4]-

Thus boric acid is a monobasic acid.

Answer 2

Any acid is defined as mono basic or dibasic or tri basic depending upon its capacity of giving H+ ion. Boric acid in water, accepts OH- ion acting as lewis acid and water releases H+ ions.

The reaction is :

B(OH)3 + H2O → H+ + [ B(OH)4]-

Thus boric acid is a monobasic acid.
