No. No difference. Boric Acid is actually in a powder form.
Boric acid is an acid. Borax is the sodium salt of that acid.
Yes, reportedly commercial borate wood preservatives are a mixture of borax and boric acid in proportion 1,54:1.
boric acid can be prepared by treating borax Na2B4O7 with H2SO4 or by passing SO2 through colemanite Ca2B5O11

Yes, this buffer works in the range 8-10 pH.
H2B4O7 is the chemical formula for pyroboric acid, also called also tetraboric acid (IUPAC name - 4-octylbenzoic acid).It is the acid ingredient of ordinary borax, and is obtained by heating boric acid.
No. Boric Acid and Borax are different things. You can derive Boric Acid from Borax though.
No. Boric Acid is B(OH)3) and borax is Na2B4O7·10H2O.
No, they're not the same.However, they're not that different. Borax is just the sodium salt of boric acid.
They are the same.

"Borax" is actually a trademarked name of a detergent that is based on boric acid.
It's actually not borax, but boric acid. Borax is a type of soap. The mixing of boric acid and "Heet" which is a type of anti-freeze, produces a chemical reaction when lite on fire. I don't know the EXACT reason why.
Borax and boric acid are not the same thing, but there is a "relationship" between the two. Let's look at each and see the connection.BoraxBorax is an important mineral, and it is goes under the names sodium borate, sodium tetraborate, or bisodium tetraborate. It's chemical formula will be written in basically one of two ways, depending on the water content. These formulae are:Na2B4O7·10H2O and Na2[B4O5(OH)4]·8H2OBoric acidBoric acid has the chemical formula H3BO3, which is sometimes written B(OH)3 when referring to the naturally occurring mineral form of boric acid (sassolite). This weak acid will react to form a salt, and sodium borate (borax) is one of the salts that can result when boric acid reacts with other natural minerals, and that's the connection.As borax can be a product of a boric acid reaction, we should not be surprised to find boric acid in borax, which we do. The fact that sodium borate is a product of a boric acid reaction and that boric acid can be found in borax (and several other minerals as well) connect the two substances. Links can be found below form more information.
There are five steps on how to make Borax out of Boric Acid. Some of the step-by-step instructions are dilute 25 mm of Hydrochloric Acid with 75 mm of distilled water, put 7g of Borax into a beaker, and then pour in 20 mm of boiling water.
