On heating orthoboric acid $\left(\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{BO}_{3}\right)$ at $370 \mathrm{~K}$ or above, it changes to metaboric acid $\left(\mathrm{HBO}_{2}\right)$. On further heating, this yields boric oxide $\mathrm{B}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}$.

$\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{BO}_{3} \stackrel{370 \mathrm{~K}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{HBO}_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{B}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}$
