An aqueous solution of borax is
- A neutral
- B amphoteric
- C basic
- D acidic
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) basic
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The solution of borax is basic in nature, because it has formula \(\mathrm{Na}_2\left[\mathrm{~B}_4 \mathrm{O}_5(\mathrm{OH})_4\right] \cdot 8 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\). It is a white powdery substance and widly used as house hold cleaner and booster for laundry detergent.
