It hydrolysed to form sodium borate, NaB(OH)4 $NaB(OH)_4$ and boric acid.

<u>Explanation</u>

Borax is an important mineral, boron compound and is a salt of 'boric acid'. The powdered borax consists of soft colourless crystals that will dissolve in water. It is used in many detergents, enamel glazes and cosmetics.

When mixed with water it produces to form an ion known as the borate ion. Thus hydrolysed to form sodium borate, $NaB(OH)_4$ and boric acid that is chemically written as B(OH)3 or $H_3BO_3.$

Answer:

Use the Bromotriflouride catalyst, BF₃

Explanation:

The BF₃ is most likely to yield less desired side products. The effect lies in the reaction mechanism.

BF₃ is a Lewis acid. Its role is to promote the ionization of the HF. This is achieved through the electrophilic mechanism. The reaction mechanism is as follows:

2 - methylpropene + H-F-BF₃ → H-F + H₃C + benzene

butylbenzene + F-BF₃ → tert-butylbenzene + H-F + BF₃ (regenerated catalyst)
