  2. Tincalconite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tincalconite

    Tincalconite is a hydrous sodium borate mineral closely related to borax, and is a secondary mineral that forms as a dehydration product of borax. Its formula is Na 2 B 4 O 7 ·5H 2 O or Na 2 [B 4 O 5 (OH) 4]·3H 2 O. Tincalconite typically occurs as a fine grained white powder.

  3. 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.

  4. Borax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borax

    Borax is also easily converted to boric acid and other borates, which have many applications. Its reaction with hydrochloric acid to form boric acid is: Na 2 B 4 O 7 ·10H 2 O + 2 HCl → 4 H 3 BO 3 + 2 NaCl + 5 H 2 O. Borax is sufficiently stable to find use as a primary standard for acid-base titrimetry. [17]: p.316

    Borax crystals. 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 ...
