Which of the following statements regarding boric acid is false -

Which of the following statements regarding boric acid is false -Which of the following statements regarding boric acid is false -

Options

  1. AIt acts as a tribasic acid
  2. BIt has a planar structure
  3. CIt acts as a monobasic acid
  4. DIt is soluble in hot water

Correct answer

A. It acts as a tribasic acid

Step-by-step solution

(A)\left(A\right) Boric acid H3BO3{H}_{3}B{O}_{3} is a lewis acid,when it is dissolved in water, it accepts OH−OH^{-} from water rather than donating H+H^{+} to the water. So,~(A)\left(A\right) it is false.

(B)\left(B\right) It has a planar structure.
Which of the following statements regarding boric acid is false -

(C)\left(C\right) It acts as a monobasic acid: B(OH)3+H2O→B(OH)4−+H+B ( OH {)}_{3} + {H}_{2}O \to B ( OH {)}_{4}^{-} + H^{+}

(D)\left(D\right) It is soluble in hot water.
