Question

What is effect of heat on orthoboric acid?

Answer 1

Answer:

When further heated on a comparatively higher temperature, the metaboric acid forms loses water further and results into the formation of tetra boric acid. When tetra boric acid is subjected to red heat, it further undergoes loss of water to result in the formation of boron trioxide or borax.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Tetra boric acid is created when the metaboric acid is cooked further at a relatively higher temperature and loses even more water. Tetra boric acid undergoes further water loss when exposed to red heat, which leads to the creation of boron trioxide or borax.

Borax changes into a number of transition forms when heated. It first starts to lose the water molecules it already has, and then it starts to swell. After that, it changes into a clear liquid that further solidifies to create a substance known as a borax bead that resembles glass. Here, it can be observed that heating borax causes the formation of metaborate, which then results in the formation of boric anhydride.
