∙ 14y agoA substitute for borax in crystal growing is a mixture of sugar and water. To create a homemade crystal growing solution, dissolve sugar in hot water until it is fully saturated. Allow the solution to cool and then use it to grow crystals in a similar way as with borax.
You can mix powders of borax and sugar or the solutions.
Because when you mix it the sugar starts to dissolve quicker and borax just sits there
Sugar was absent in the tubing at first because it was in the water solution outside the tubing. Through osmosis, water molecules moved from the tubing, which had lower sugar concentration, into the solution with higher sugar concentration, equilibrating the sugar levels inside and outside the tubing.
Borax typically has a powdery texture, similar to that of fine salt or sugar.
To use borax to kill ants, mix equal parts borax and sugar to attract the ants. Place the mixture in areas where you have seen ant activity. The ants will be attracted to the sugar and take the borax back to their colony, which will eventually kill them.
Yes, mixing borax and sugar can effectively kill ants. The sugar attracts the ants and they carry the borax back to their colony, which ultimately poisons them. However, it's important to keep this mixture out of reach of children and pets as borax can be harmful if ingested in large quantities.
Borax is poisoness to dogs and cats
Yes if it is mixed with honey and/or peanut butter. It will kill them. Borax is poisonous if ingested.
No, sugar is not a solution. Sugar water is a solution of sugar and water, but sugar itself is not.
No, sugar is not a solution. Sugar water is a solution of sugar and water, but sugar itself is not.
Borax crystals grow faster than sugar crystals because borax molecules are able to bond and arrange more easily due to their structure, resulting in faster crystal formation. Also, borax solutions tend to be more saturated than sugar solutions, providing more building blocks for crystal growth.
