STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES FOR HAZARDOUS …

Boric acid is commonly used in eyewash solutions in chemistry laboratories to neutralize bases splashed in the eye. Its' pKa is ~9. Write a reaction for the hydrolysis of boric acid showing its' conjugate base. What is the ~pKb for the conjugate base of B(OH)3? Would you expect the value of the pKa of Al(OH)3 to be greater or less than 9? ................
