K2HBO3
K2HBO3 is an inorganic potassium borate salt with the formula K2HBO3. It is typically described as a potassium salt of boric acid in which a borate unit retains an associated hydrogen. In the solid state it forms as a white crystalline material and, like many borate salts, can exist in various hydrated forms. In water, K2HBO3 dissociates to give potassium ions and borate-related species, producing a solution that is moderately basic due to the borate moiety.
The compound is not commonly encountered as a routine reagent, but it can be prepared by standard
K2HBO3 is related to other borate systems such as potassium hydrogen borate (KH2BO3) and potassium metaborate
