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.
The solution of orthoboric acid and borax in 4:5 ratio is used as a fire retarding agent of wood by impregnation. [38] It is also used in the manufacturing of ramming mass, a fine silica-containing powder used for producing induction furnace linings and ceramics. Boric acid is added to borax for use as welding flux by blacksmiths. [39]
This reaction is very fast, with characteristic time less than 10 μs. [13] Polymeric boron oxoanions are formed in aqueous solution of boric acid at pH 7–10 if the boron concentration is higher than about 0.025 mol/L. The best known of these is the tetraborate ion [B 4 O 7] 2−, found in the mineral borax:
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.
The IANA time zone database contains one zone for the United Kingdom in the file zone.tab, named Europe/London. This refers to the area having the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code "GB". The zone names Europe/Guernsey, Europe/Isle_of_Man and Europe/Jersey exist because they have their own ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 but the zone.tab entries are links to ...
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 ...
A Feb. 17 video posted by @Madisdawgs, taking part in the trend, reads “how to not care no borax no glue.” It has garnered over 3.8 million views as of Feb. 20.
