This video was the first Vlogbrothers video to make the front page of YouTube, and the starting point of the brothers' success as vloggers. [ citation needed ] Toward the end of 2007, the brothers launched the first Project For Awesome campaign, in which YouTubers created innovative videos promoting their favorite charity, with the aim that ...
Lithium metaborate forms glass relatively easily, and consists of approximately 40% tetrahedral borate anions, and 60% trigonal planar boron. The ratio of tetrahedral to trigonal boron has been shown to be strongly temperature dependent in the liquid and supercooled liquid state. [3] [4]
Borate buffered saline (abbreviated BBS) is a buffer used in some biochemical techniques to maintain the pH within a relatively narrow range. Borate buffers have an alkaline buffering capacity in the 8–10 range.
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]
The Borate Minerals are minerals which contain a borate anion group. The borate (BO 3) units may be polymerised similar to the SiO 4 unit of the silicate mineral class. This results in B 2 O 5, B 3 O 6, B 2 O 4 anions as well as more complex structures which include hydroxide or halogen anions. [2] The [B(O,OH) 4] − anion exists as well.
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.
Baron Cohen plays the leading role of Borat Sagdiyev, a fictional Kazakh journalist who travels through the United States to make a documentary which features real-life interactions with Americans. Much of the film features unscripted vignettes of Borat interviewing and interacting with real-life Americans who believe he is a foreigner with ...
Trimethyl borate is the main precursor to sodium borohydride by its reaction with sodium hydride in the Brown-Schlesinger process: 4 NaH + B(OCH 3) 3 → NaBH 4 + 3 NaOCH 3. It is a gaseous anti-oxidant in brazing and solder flux. Otherwise, trimethyl borate has no announced commercial applications.
