Explain what happens when boric acid is heated.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

On heating orthoboric acid `((H_(3)BO_(3))` at 370 K or above, it changes to metaboric acid
`(HBO_(2))`. On further heating, this yields boric oxide `B_(2)O_(3)`.
`H_(3)BO_(3)overset(Delta)underset(370K)rarrunderset("Metaboric acid")underset()(HBO_(2))overset(Delta)underset("red hot")rarrunderset("Boric oxide")underset()(B_(2)O_(3))`
