Question
B3+ ion cannot exist in aqueous solution because of its :
Options
A.strong reducing ability
B.strong oxidizing ability.
C.small size and large charge.
D.large size and small charge.
Solution
On account of higher charge density i.e. charge/size ratio it gets hydrolysed forming H3BO3.
2B3+ + 6H2O → 2H3BO3 + 6H+
2B3+ + 6H2O → 2H3BO3 + 6H+
