The incorrect statement among the following regarding borax is-

1. It is a useful primary standard for titrating against acids. 

2. One molecule of borax contains 4 \(B — O — B\) bonds.

3. Aqueous solution of borax can be used as a buffer.

4. It is made up of two triangular \(BO_{3}\) units and two tetrahedral \(BO_{4}\) units.

Find the species that does not exist among the following.
1. [SnF₆]²⁻
2. [GeCl₆]²⁻
3. [CCl₆]²⁻
4. [SiF₆]²⁻

Borax is converted into crystalline boron by the following steps:

          $\mathrm{Borax}\stackrel{\mathrm{X}}{\to }{\mathrm{H}}_3{\mathrm{BO}}_3\stackrel{∆}{\to }{\mathrm{B}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_3\underset{∆}{\overset{\mathrm{Y}}{\to }}\mathrm{B}$

X and Y are respectively :

1. HCl, Mg                                 
2. HCl, C
3. C, Al 
4. HCl, Al

$\mathrm{B}{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_3+\mathrm{NaOH}\rightleftharpoons {\mathrm{NaBO}}_2+\mathrm{Na}\left[\mathrm{B}{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_4\right]+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$

 This reaction is made to proceed in forward direction by -

1. Addition of Cis- 1,2 diol

2. Addition of borax

3. Addition of trans 1,2- diol

4. Addition of ${\mathrm{Na}}_2{\mathrm{HPO}}_4$

An Aqueous solution of borax reacts with 2 moles of acid due to -

1. Formation of 2 moles of  B(OH)₃  only

2. Formation of 2 moles of  [B(OH)₄]^-  only

3. Formation of 1 mole each of  B(OH)₃ and [B(OH)₄]^-

4. Formation of 2 moles each of [B(OH)₄]^- and B(OH)₃, only [B(OH)₄]^-  reacts with an acid 

The reagent that is used to remove ${\mathrm{SO}}_4^{2-}$ and Cl^- is -

1. NaOH             

2. Pb(NO₃)₂

3. BaSO₄             

4. KOH

An amphoteric  oxide among the following is:

1. CO₂

2. CO

3. SnO₂

4. CaO

The incorrect statement among the following is -

1. $\mathrm{Ge}{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_2$ is amphoteric

2. ${\mathrm{GeCl}}_2$ is more stable than ${\mathrm{GeCl}}_4$

3. ${\mathrm{GeO}}_2$ is weakly acidic

4. GeCl₄ + 2HCl ⇄ H₂[GeCl₆]
