Firstly, I want to emphasize that B6N2O6 is not the official name of a chemical substance. It is simply a representation of the number of atoms of the chemical elements in a molecule. However, based on the number of atoms of the elements, I will introduce a similar chemical substance with the chemical formula B6N2O6, which is Borax (Na2B4O7.10H2O).
- Definition of Borax:
1.1 Common name: Borax, Borax crystal
1.1.2 English name: Borax, Borax decahydrate
1.2 Atomic mass: 381.37
1.3 Atomic weight: B: 10.81, N: 14.007, O: 15.999
1.4 Ion structure: Borax molecule contains 2 sodium ions and 4 borate ions. - Properties of Borax:
2.1 Physical properties of Borax: Borax is a solid, white, odorless substance, with a PH level of about 9.2.
2.2 Chemical properties of Borax: Borax can react with strong acids to form new boron compounds. Typically, it reacts with hydrochloric acid to form boric acid and chlorine. - Common chemical equations of Borax:
Reaction with acid:
Na2B4O7 + 2HCl -> 2NaCl + H3BO3 - Synthesis of Borax:
Borax is usually synthesized from the refining of natural borate minerals such as kernite or tincal. In the laboratory, borax can be synthesized from boric acid with sodium carbonate.
