Answer» `underset("Borax")(Na_(2)B_(4)O_(7).10H_(2)O)+H_(2)SO_(4) ("conc".) rarr Na_(2)SO_(4) + underset(" Tetraboric acid ")(H_(2)B_(4)O_(7)) + 10H_(2)O` `H_(2)B_(4)O_(7) +5H_(2)O rarr underset(" Boric acid ")(4H_(3)BO_(3))` `2H_(3)BO_(3) overset(" Red heat ")rarrunderset(" Boric oxide ")B_(2)O_(3) + 3H_(2)O` `B_(2)O_(3)+3Mgoverset(Delta)rarr2B + 3MgO` For structure of `B_(2)H_(6)`. With dry `HCl, B_(2)H_(6)` evolves `H_(2)` gas `B_(2)H_(6) + HCl ("dry") rarr B_(2)H_(5)Cl + H_(2)` |
