Answer» CORRECT option is (d) BORON trioxide The best explanation: When we heat orthoboric acid at 273 K, we get metaboric acid. Again by HEATING metaboric acid at 473 K, we get tetraboric acid further heating tetraboric acid to Red Hot we finally get boron trioxide as a final product which is boric anhydride. |
