Orthoboric acid, B(OH)_(3) , is the normal end product of hydrolysis of most boron compounds. It forms flaky, white, transparaent crystals in which a planar array of BO_(3) units is joined by unsymmetrical H -bonds. In contrast to the short O-H-----O distance of 272 pm within the plane, the distance between consecutive layer in thec crystal is 318 pm, thus accounting for the pronounced basal clevage of the waxy, plate-like crystals and their low density (1 AB g cm^(-3)) Which of the following reaction product boric acid? I) Hydrolysis of BCl_(3) . II) Reaction of H_(2)SO_(4) with aqueus solution of borax III) Reaction of water with B_(2)H_(6) .
