So the resulting solution will be acidic and so it can be titrated

against 0.1 N NaOH (E.P 3).

E.P 3 ≡ 2 glyceroboric acid ≡ 2 H 3BO 3 (from borax)

E.P 1 ≡ 2 NaOH (from borax)

E.P 2 ≡ 4 H 3BO 3 (from borax)
E.P 3 ≡ 2 H 3BO 3 (from borax)

 E.P3 = E.P1 = E.P2

Other Questions :

1- Explain the following:

Borax can be determined by 3 methods.

Answer: Explain (E.P 1), (E.P 2) and (E.P 3) as mentioned before.

2- Complete the following:

a- Borax can be regarded as a half-neutralized boric acid solution after

the addition of ...............

(Answer: glycerol)

b- If a borax solution is treated directly with glycerol, the pH of the

resulting solution will be ............... to ph.ph. and the solution can be

regarded as a half-neutralized ............... solution.

(Answer: acidic – boric acid)
