-
Reaction conditions:
- This reaction takes place at high temperatures.
- Boron can react with oxygen at room temperature, but the higher the temperature, the faster the reaction rate.
-
Reaction process:
- Boron atoms combine with oxygen to produce boron trioxide.
- This reaction is an oxidation process, in which boron is oxidized and oxygen is reduced.
-
Phenomena that occur:
- When this reaction takes place, we can see the color change of the reaction mixture from the black of boron to the white of boron trioxide.
