Boric acid, cried hydrogen borate, boracic acid, orthoboric acid an [acidum boricum] error: {{lang}}: text has italic markup (help) an aw, is a waik, monobasic Lewis acid o boron eften uised as an antiseptic, insecticide, flame retardant, neutron absorber, or precursor tae ither chemical compoonds. It haes the chemical formula H3BO3 (whiles written B(OH)3), an exeests in the form o colourless creestals or a white pouder that dissowles in watter. When occurrin as a mineral, it is cried sassolite.
