DEFINITION
Borax contains not less than 99.0 per cent and not more than the equivalent of 103.0 per cent of disodium tetraborate decahydrate.

CHARACTERS
A white, crystalline powder, colourless crystals or crystalline masses, efflorescent, soluble in water, very soluble in boiling water, freely soluble in glycerol.

IDENTIFICATION
A. To 1 ml of solution S (see Tests) add 0.1 ml of sulphuric acid and 5 ml of methanol \ and ignite. The flame has a green border.
B. To 5 ml of solution S add 0.1 ml of phenolphthalein solution. The solution is red. On the addition of 5 ml of glycerol (85 per cent) the colour disappears.
C. Solution S gives the reactions of sodium.

TESTS
Solution S: Dissolve 4.0 g in carbon dioxide-free water prepared from distilled water and dilute to 100 ml with the same solvent.
Appearance of solution: Solution S is clear and colourless.
pH: The pH of solution S is 9.0 to 9.6.
Sulphates: 15 ml of solution S complies with the limit test for sulphates (50 ppm).
Ammonium: 6 ml of solution S diluted to 14 ml with water complies with the limit test for ammonium (10 ppm).
Arsenic: 5 ml of solution S complies with limit test A for arsenic (5 ppm).

A jackal woke up early in the morning and went in to the plains. He looked at his long shadow in the rising morning sun and said to himself, "I must have a camel for my meal today".

He kept moving around till noon and it was getting hot and the jackal was tired. He was also hungry and thirsty. He looked at his small shadow in the mid-day sun. He murmered, "I was only joking about the camel, a mouse will do".
