What is METABORIC ACID?

Chemical properties

White crystals. Slightly soluble in water.

What are the applications of Application

Metaboric acid is an inorganic compound formed by boric acid dehydration

General Description

Metaboric can be prepared in three crystal forms; orthorhombic α, monoclinic β, cubic γ. 1 Detailed study of the monoclinic and cubic structures of the acid has been reported. Metaboric acid can be obtained by heating boric acid at 120^oC for 4h.
