When borax is heated with \(CoO\) on a platinum loop, blue coloured bead formed is largely due to

  1. A \(B _{2} O _{3}\)
  2. B \(Co \left( BO _{2}\right)_{2}\)
  3. C \(CoB _{4} O _{7}\)
  4. D \(Co [ B _{4} O _{5}( OH )_{4}]\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(Co \left( BO _{2}\right)_{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Na _{2} B _{4} O _{7} \cdot 10 H _{2} O \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} Na _{2} B _{4} O _{7}+10 H _{2} O\) \(Na _{2} B _{4} O _{7} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} 2 NaBO _{2} \text { (sodium meta borate) }+ B _{2} O _{3}\)…
