    Which of the following correctly explains the nature of boric acid in aqueous medium:

    A)  \[{{H}_{3}}B{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{{H}_{2}}O}{{H}_{3}}^{+}O+{{H}_{2}}BO_{3}^{-}\]

    B)  \[{{H}_{3}}B{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{2{{H}_{2}}O}2H_{3}^{+}O+{{H}_{2}}BO_{3}^{2-}\]

    C)  \[{{H}_{3}}B{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{3{{H}_{2}}O}3H_{3}^{+}O+{{H}_{2}}BO_{3}^{3-}\]

    D)  \[{{H}_{3}}B{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{{H}_{2}}O}B(OH)_{4}^{+}+{{H}^{+}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{H}_{3}}B{{O}_{3}}\] is weak, Lewis monobasic acid and shows the given equilibrium. \[{{H}_{3}}B{{O}_{3}}+{{H}_{2}}O\rightleftharpoons \,B(OH)_{4}^{-}\,+{{H}^{+}}\]
