Question
5. Erina observed that the borax she uses to clean the house is only partially soluble with
water. She found on the internet that borax is composed of sodium tetraborate
(Na,B,0;(OH), • 8H,0) and wanted to analyze its solubility. The dissolution of borax is:
Na,B,0;(OH), • 8H20(9 = 2 Na (aq) + B40;(OH), (aq) + 8 H20o
A 50.0 mL saturated solution was prepared for the experiment. After filtering the solution,
a 5.00 mL aliquot was transferred to a 25.0 mL Erlenmeyer flask and was titrated using
pre-standardized 0.4320 M HCI. The endpoint was reached after the addition of 4.73 mL
titrant.
Since the tetraborate anion (B,0;(OH),?) is a weak base, the tetraborate ion reacts with
HCI by the reaction:
B,0,(OH), (aq) + 2 H*(aq) + 3 H,0g = 4 H;BO3(aq)
a. Write the K, expression for the dissolution process.
