The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the formation of a green color flame when borate is burnt with concentrated sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) and ethanol, we can break down the process into several steps. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants**: - The reactants in this reaction are borate (specifically borax, Na₂B₄O₇), concentrated sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), and ethanol (C₂H₅OH). **Hint**: Look for the components that are involved in the reaction and their chemical formulas. 2. **Understand the Reaction**: - When borax is heated with concentrated H₂SO₄, it undergoes a chemical reaction. The sulfuric acid reacts with borax to produce sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄) and boric acid (H₃BO₃). **Hint**: Consider the products formed when acids react with borates. 3. **Formation of Triethyl Borate**: - The boric acid (H₃BO₃) then reacts with ethanol (C₂H₅OH) to form triethyl borate (C₂H₅O)₃B and water (H₂O). The reaction can be represented as: \[ H₃BO₃ + 3C₂H₅OH \rightarrow (C₂H₅O)₃B + 3H₂O \] **Hint**: Recognize the reaction between boric acid and alcohol to form an ester. 4. **Color of the Flame**: - The green color of the flame is attributed to the presence of triethyl borate. When it is burned, it emits a green flame due to the boron compounds present in the reaction. **Hint**: Think about how different compounds can affect the color of flames when burned. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the green color flame is obtained due to the formation of triethyl borate (C₂H₅O)₃B. **Hint**: Summarize the findings to arrive at the final answer. ### Final Answer: The green color flame is obtained due to the formation of triethyl borate, represented as (C₂H₅O)₃B.
