  2. Borate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borate

    Common borate salts include sodium metaborate (NaBO 2) and borax. Borax is soluble in water, so mineral deposits only occur in places with very low rainfall. Extensive deposits were found in Death Valley and shipped with twenty-mule teams from 1883 to 1889. In 1925, deposits were found at Boron, California on the edge of the Mojave Desert.

    Borax (also referred to as sodium borate, tincal (/ ˈ t ɪ ŋ k əl /) and tincar (/ ˈ t ɪ ŋ k ər /)) is a salt (ionic compound), a hydrated or anhydrous borate of sodium, with the chemical formula Na 2 H 20 B 4 O 17. [1] [a] It is a colorless crystalline solid that dissolves in water to make a basic solution.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boron_compounds

    Boranes are chemical compounds of boron and hydrogen, with the generic formula of B x H y. These compounds do not occur in nature. Many of the boranes readily oxidise on contact with air, some violently. The parent member BH 3 is called borane, but it is known only in the gaseous state, and dimerises to form diborane, B 2 H 6. The larger ...

  5. Sodium borate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_borate

    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.

  6. Boric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boric_acid

    In electroplating, boric acid is used as part of some proprietary formulas. One known formula uses about a 1 to 10 ratio of H 3 BO 3 to NiSO 4, a very small portion of sodium lauryl sulfate and a small portion of H 2 SO 4. The solution of orthoboric acid and borax in 4:5 ratio is used as a fire retarding agent of wood by impregnation. [38]

  7. Tetraborate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetraborate

    The hydrated tetraborate anion occurs in the mineral borax (sodium tetraborate octahydrate) with the formula Na 2 [B 4 O 5 (OH) 4]·8H 2 O. The borax chemical formula is also commonly written in a more compact notation as Na 2 B 4 O 7 ·10H 2 O. Sodium borate can be obtained in high purity and so can be used to make a standard solution in ...
