Boric acid is an acid because its molecule
contains replaceable $H^+$ ion
gives up a proton
accepts $OH^-$ from water releasing proton.
combines with proton from water molecule.
Aluminium chloride exists as dimer, $Al_2Cl_6$ in solid state as well as in soluiton of non-polar solvents such as $C_6H_6.$ When dissolved in water it gives :
Give uses of boron and its compound.
The $+1 -$ oxidation state in group $-13$ and $+2$ oxidation state in group $-14$ becomes more and more stable with increasing atomic number. Explain.
Give reasons:
$(i)$ Conc. $HNO _{3}$ can be transported in aluminium container.
$(ii)$ $A$ mixture of dilute $NaOH$ and aluminium pieces is used to open drain.
$(iii)$ Graphite is used as lubricant.
$(iv)$ Diamond is used as an abrasive.
$(v)$ Aluminium alloys are used to make aircraft body.
$(vi)$ Aluminium utensils should not be kept in water overnight.
$(vii)$ Aluminium wire is used to make transmission cables.
A compound $(A)$ of boron reacts with $NMe_3$ to give an adduct $(B)$ which on hydrolysis gives a compound $(C) $ and hydrogen gas. Compound $(C)$ is an acid. Identify the compounds $A, B$ and $C.$ Give the reactions involved.
