Boric acid, BOH is used as a mild antiseptic. What is the pH of a 0.025 aqueous solution of boric acid? What is the degree of ionisation of boric acid in this solution? The hydrogen ion arises principally from the reaction: B(OH),(aq) + H,O(1) — В(ОН), (аq) + н* (aq) The equilibrium constant for this reaction is 5.9 x 10-10.

Question
Boric acid, BOH is used as a mild antiseptic. What is the pH of a 0.025 aqueous solution
of boric acid? What is the degree of ionisation of boric acid in this solution? The
hydrogen ion arises principally from the reaction:
B(OH),(aq) + H,O(1)
— В(ОН), (аq) + н* (aq)
The equilibrium constant for this reaction is 5.9 x 10-10.
