The solvolysis of K[B(CF3)4] in concentrated H2S04 generates (F3C)3BCO.

(a) Write a balanced equation for the solvolysis process,


(b) In the gas phase, (F3C)3BCO possesses C3 rather than C3v symmetry. Rationalize this observation, and draw a structure for the molecule which is consistent with the C3 point group.
