What type of sediments form from minerals that crystallize from water?

actually no sediment does not form from minerals and crystallize from water.


How borax can be prepared?

From tincal: Tincal is boiled with water and the so;ution is then filtered to remove impurities of sand, clay etc. The filterate is concentrated till crystallization begins and then cooled. The crystals of borax are separated by filteration. From colemanite (Ca2B6O11): Ca2B6O11 + 2Na2CO3 -----Heat-----» Na2B4O7 + 2NaBO2 + 2CaCO3↓ 4NaBO2 + CO2 -----------» Na2B4O7 + Na2CO3 The insoluble calcium carbonate is filtered off .The remaing solution containg of borax and sod.metaborate is then treated with CO2 to convert sod.metaborate to borax.The solution is now concentrated and cooled to crystallize borax. From boric acid : Borax is prepared from boric acid by boiling with soda ash. On cooling the solution, borax separates out. 4H3BO3 + Na2CO3 ------------» Na2B4O7 + 6H2O +CO2 ↑


If you take borax and boiling water and make crystals is this a physical change or a chemical change?

It is a chemical change, because the borax reacts to the heated water.

What is the chemical reaction between borax and hot water?

In a starch-type glue (e.g. a wheatpaste glue / wallpaper glue), the borax acts as a gelling agent, thereby increasing the viscosity and glue strength. Borax also has fungicidal properties, thereby acting as a preservative against mould.

How do borax crystals form?

Borax has a solubility of 5.8 grams per 100 milliliters of solution or 5.8 percent at room temperature. However at an elevated water temperature, more borax will dissolve than at room temperature. As the hot borax solution cools to room temperature, it becomes supersaturated. Supersaturated solutions are unstable and the excess borax will crystallize on any rough surface.
