Answer:

When boric acid is heated it converts to metabolic acid which on further heating gives boron trioxide. Answer: On strong heating, first the Boric acid (H3BO3) breaks up into Metaboric acid (HBO2) and Water (H2O). On further heating, the Metaboric acid breaks up into Boric oxide (B2O3) and Water.
