No, borax should not be used for eyes. Boric acid is sometimes used as an eyewash to alleviate certain eye conditions, but borax is a different compound and is not safe for eye use. If you are experiencing any eye discomfort or need treatment, it is best to consult a healthcare professional.

Is borax an acid?
no, borax is like an alkaline
Where can you buy boric acid iodine and bran for corn removal?
Iodine, you can get at any drug store. Borax and bran will be at your local health food store, like Whole Foods or a Co-Op.
Why boric acid is soft and silky?
Because the layers in boric acid crystals structure slide one and onather...
Why boric acid is polymeric?
Boric acid has layer like lattice. In this structure planar bo3 units arejoined by hydrogen bonds and forms a polymeric structure.
What happen when borax is heated strongly?
When heated borax undergoes various transitions,first it loses water molecules and swells,then it turns into a transparent liquid solidifying to for a glass like structure called borax beads. Na2B4O7.10H20 -->heating Na2B4O7 -->heating 2NaBO2 + B2O3 BORAX SODIUM BORIC METABORATE ANHYDRIDE

How boric acid is monobasic acid?
Boric acid behaves as aweak monobasic acid ,because it doesn't donate protons like most acid but rather accept one OH- ,,therefore act as a lewis acid and is better written as : B(OH)3. B(OH)3 + 2H2O = H3O+ + [ B(OH)4]-
Can Boric Acid be used on human skin to kill parasites?
boric acid can be toxic if you use it in the wrong ways
Is phosphorous acid a tribasic acid?
Yes it is. Formula H3PO3.Because it can form Phosphite salts containing PO3-3 anions.But its structure is not like Boric acid(H3BO3)
Is boric acid monoprotic?
Firstly, a monobasic acid is an acid that is capable of giving one proton (H+ ion) in an acid-base reaction. A Lewis acid is a molecular entity that accepts an electron pair from another entity. Boric Acid is a Monobasic Lewis acid. The word "acid" in Boric acid (H3BO3) gives a wrong idea that Boric acid releases protons. Boric acid is not a Bronsted acid, but a Lewis acid (All Bronsted acids are Lewis acids, but the reverse is not always true), that is it accepts electrons and does not release protons. When H3BO3 is added to water, the following reaction takes place: H2O + H3BO3 -> B(OH)4- + H+ This clears up a lot of things. We see that Boric acid forms a borate ion, by accepting the electon-pair of OH-, thus justifying it being a Lewis acid. The second point is that a H+ ion is generated, which would be used up in an acid base reaction. Hence, it is monobasic too.
Does borax repel or kill mice?
In large enough quantity, yes. However, boric acid is considered to be about as poisonous as table salt. Certainly it would kill mice if you immersed them in it, or fed it to them in large enough quantities. Mice traps or rat poison will work better though.
What happen when hydrated borax is heated strongly?
On heating, borax first loses water molecules and swells up.On further heating it turns into a transparent liquid, which solidifies into glass like material known as borax bead. Na2B4O7.10H2O -----heat------>Na2B4O7------heat------>2NaBO2+B2O3 Sodium Boric metaborate anhydride
