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 $H_3BO_3.$

When can all the coefficients in a balanced equation represent volume ratios? when reactants and products are solids at stp when

Alexxx [7]

Answer: when reactants and products are gases at STP.

Justification:

1) STP stands for standard temperature (0°) and pressure (1 atm).

2) According to the kinetic molecular theory of the gases, and as per Avogadro's principle, equal volumes of gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules.

3) Since the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation represent number of moles, when reactants and products are gases at the same temperature and pressure, the mole ratios are the same that the volume ratios, and then the coefficients of the chemical equation represent the volume ratios.
