Question

In the given reaction, (A) is $H_{3}B{O}_3$.

State whether the given statement is true or false.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

$N{a}_2{B}_4{O}_7.10H_{2}O+conc.H_{2}S{O}_4\stackrel{\Delta }{⟶}\underset{\left(A\right)}{H_{3}B{O}_3}\stackrel{C{H}_{3}OH,\Delta }{⟶}\underset{B}{(C{H}_3{)}_{3}B{O}_3}$

(A) is $H_{3}B{O}_3$ and (B) is methyl borate, $(C{H}_3{)}_{3}B{O}_3$ which burns with green edged flame.

Hence, the given statement is $\text{true}$
