2. Boric acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boric_acid

   Boric acid is a weak acid, with pK a (the pH at which buffering is strongest because the free acid and borate ion are in equal concentrations) of 9.24 in pure water at 25 °C. But apparent pK a is substantially lower in swimming pool or ocean waters because of interactions with various other molecules in solution. It will be around 9.0 in a ...

3. Sodium borate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_borate

   Thus borax, for example, is still often described as a decahydrate Na 2 B 4 O 7 ·10H 2 O, with the implied anion [B 4 O 7] 2−, whereas the correct formula is Na 2 B 4 O 5 (OH) 4 ·8H 2 O, with anion [B 4 O 5 (OH) 4] 2−. The following table gives some of the crystalline sodium borates in this family. [2]

4. Borax - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borax

   Borate buffers (usually at pH 8) are also used as preferential equilibration solutions in dimethyl pimelimidate (DMP) based crosslinking reactions. [citation needed] Borax as a source of borate has been used to take advantage of the co-complexing ability of borate with other agents in water to form complex ions with various substances.

5. Borate buffered saline - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borate_buffered_saline

   Adjust pH to pH 8.2 The simplest way to prepare a BBS solution is to use BBS tablets. They are formulated to give a ready to use borate buffered saline solution upon dissolution in 500 ml of deionized water. Concentration of borate and NaCl as well as the pH can vary, and the resulting solution would still be referred to as "borate buffered ...

6. Swimming pool sanitation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swimming_pool_sanitation

   When any of these pool chemicals are used, it is very important to keep the pH of the pool in the range 7.2 to 7.8 – according to the Langelier Saturation Index, or 7.8 to 8.2 – according to the Hamilton Index; higher pH drastically reduces the sanitizing power of the chlorine due to reduced oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), while lower ...
