Aqueous solution containing 1 mol of bor...

Aqueous solution containing `1` mol of borax raects with `2` mol of acids. This is because of:

A

formation of `2` mol of `B(OH)_(3)` only

B

formation of `2` mol of `[B(OH)_(4)]^(-)` only

C

formation of `1` mol each of `B(OH)_(3)` and `[B(OH)_(4)]^(-)`

D

formation of `2` mol each of `[B(OH)_(4)]^(-)` and `B(OH)_(3)`, of which only `[B(OH)_(4)]^(-)` reacts with acid

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the reaction of borax with acids, we will break down the process step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Borax Composition**: - Borax is chemically represented as Na₂B₄O₇·10H₂O (sodium tetraborate decahydrate). In an aqueous solution, it dissociates into sodium ions (Na⁺) and borate ions (B₄O₇²⁻). 2. **Dissociation of Borax**: - When 1 mole of borax dissolves in water, it dissociates to produce: - 2 moles of Na⁺ - 1 mole of B₄O₇²⁻ 3. **Formation of Boric Acid and Sodium Borate**: - The borate ions (B₄O₇²⁻) can react with water to form boric acid (H₃BO₃) and sodium borate (NaB(OH)₄). The reaction can be represented as: - B₄O₇²⁻ + 7H₂O → 4H₃BO₃ + 2NaB(OH)₄ - This indicates that from 1 mole of borax, we can produce 2 moles of sodium borate (NaB(OH)₄) and 2 moles of boric acid (H₃BO₃). 4. **Understanding the Reaction with Acids**: - Boric acid (H₃BO₃) is a weak acid and does not react further with other acids. However, sodium borate (NaB(OH)₄) can react with acids. - Therefore, when 2 moles of acid are added to the solution, they will primarily react with the sodium borate (NaB(OH)₄). 5. **Conclusion**: - The reason why 1 mole of borax reacts with 2 moles of acid is due to the formation of 2 moles of sodium borate (NaB(OH)₄) which can react with the acids, while the boric acid does not participate in further reactions. ### Final Answer: The aqueous solution containing 1 mole of borax reacts with 2 moles of acids because the sodium borate (NaB(OH)₄) formed from the dissociation of borax reacts with the acids. ---
