Statement `H_(3)BO_(3)` is monobasic Lewis acid but its salt `Na_(3)BO_(3)` exist.
Explanation `H_(3)BO_(3)` reacts with `NaOH` to give `Na_(3)BO_(3)`.

A

`S` is correct but `E` is wrong.

B

`S` is wrong but `E` is wrong.

C

Both `S` and `E` are correct and `E` is correct explanation of `S`.

D

Both `S` and `E` are correct but `E` is not correct explanation of `S.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`HO-underset(OH)underset(|)B-OH+NaOHrarrNaB(OH)_(4)`,
`H_(3)BO_(3)` is monobasic Lewis acid.
Also `Na_(3)BO_(3)` exist as:
`3C_(2)H_(5)OH+H_(3)BO_(3)rarr(C_(2)H_(5))_(3)BO_(3)underset(-3C_(2)H_(5)OH)overset(3NaOH)rarrNa_(3)BO_(3)`
