Boric Acid
Technical specifications of boric acid are as follows,
Name: Boric Acid
Chemical formula: H3BO3 or B (OH) 3
Density: 1.435 g / cm
Physical form: either colorless crystals or white powder soluble in water
Boric acid has applications in industries such as chemical, agricultural, pharmaceutical, detergent, antifreeze, leather, coagulation of synthetic plastics, chemical fertilizers, insecticides and microbicides and melting agent in welding industry.
What is Acid Boric :
Boric acid, also called hydrogen borate, boracic acid or orthoboric acid is often used as an antiseptic, insecticide, flame retardant, neutron absorber, or precursor to other chemical compounds.
Boric acid is a mild acid that is mostly used for disinfection, as well as controlling the rate of nuclear fission in nuclear power plants.
Boric Acid Explanation :
Boric acid can be prepared from the reaction of borax with a mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid.
Na2B4O7 · 10H2O + 2 HCl → 4 B (OH) 3 [or H3BO3] + 2 NaCl + 5 H2O
It can also be prepared by hydrolysis of bororthyloids and deodorants.
B2H6 + 6 H2O → 2 B (OH) 3 + 6 H2
(BX3 + 3 H2O → B (OH) 3 + 3 HX (X = Cl, Br, I
