Aqueous solution of which of the following boron compounds will be strongly basic in nature?
- a
- b
- c
- d✓
Strategy: Predict the pH of aqueous solutions based on salt hydrolysis.
Step 1: Hydrolysis of Borax Borax is a salt of a strong base and a weak acid . In aqueous solution, it undergoes hydrolysis: Step 2: Basicity The presence of the strong alkali makes the solution strongly basic.
