| Nov 11, 2015 at 20:43 | comment | added | user7951 | @KaranSingh For example, metaboric acid can be formed by condensation (dehydration) of orthoboric acid. Heating of orthoboric acid releases one equivalent of water to give metaboric acid: $\ce{$n\,$H3BO3 -> (HBO2)$_n$ + $n\,$H2O}$. Therefore, the formal difference is just the content of one equivalent of water. | |
