Borax "pentahydrate" has the formula Na 2 B 4 O 7 ·5H 2 O, which is actually a trihydrate Na 2 B 4 O 5 (OH) 4 ·3H 2 O. It is a colorless solid with a density of 1.880 kg/m 3 that crystallizes from water solutions above 60.8 °C in the rhombohedral crystal system .
Sodium borate is a generic name for any salt of sodium with an anion consisting of boron and oxygen, and possibly hydrogen, or any hydrate thereof. It can be seen as a hydrated sodium salt of the appropriate boroxy acid, although the latter may not be a stable compound.
V-Bor is a commercially packaged form of borax pentahydrate (Na 2 B 4 O 7 ·5H 2 O). It is produced by the Searles Valley Minerals company from minerals mined at Searles Lake.It has most of the same uses as borax.
Blue vitriol – copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate. Green vitriol – a mineral; iron(II) sulfate heptahydrate. (or ferrous sulfate) Red vitriol - cobalt sulfate. [1] Sweet vitriol – diethyl ether. It could be made by mixing oil of vitriol with spirit of wine and heating it. [2] White vitriol – zinc sulfate, formed by lixiviating roasted zinc ...
Disodium octaborate is a borate of sodium, a chemical compound of sodium, boron, and oxygen — a salt with elemental formula Na 2 B 8 O 13 or (Na +) 2 [B 8 O 13] 2−, also written as Na 2 O·4B 2 O 3.
People are ingesting borax. Also known by its chemical name sodium borate decahydrate, borax is a salt typically used to kill ants and boost laundry detergent, among other household cleaning needs ...
Borate ions occur, alone or with other anions, in many borate and borosilicate minerals such as borax, boracite, ulexite (boronatrocalcite) and colemanite. Borates also occur in seawater, where they make an important contribution to the absorption of low frequency sound in seawater. [1] Borates also occur in plants, including almost all fruits. [2]
An old borax plant in Death Valley, California. Borate glasses have a more complex action of alkali ions than silicate glasses. [1] Borate glasses also have major differences in their optical properties.
