Boric acid, B(OH)3, undergoes an unusual equilibrium in water. The equilibrium and reaction diagram are shown. B(OH)3(aq) + H2O(l) = B(OH)4 (aq) + H+(aq) B(OH)4- + H+ Potential energy B(OH)3 + H2O Reaction progress At equilibrium will there be a higher concentration of starting materials (left) or products (right) in solution? O equal amounts of both starting materials products
