Why do we not perform borax bead test with the white salt?

Answer» This test is applied for the indentification of the cations of the coloured salt only because the borax forms the corresponding metaborates which possess characteristic colouri. For example with `CuSO_(4)`, the reaction
`CuSO_(4)+underset(("from borax"))(B_(2)O_(3))tounderset(("blue"))(Cu(BO_(2))_(2)+SO_(3)`
