A S A P. Â®. A Timely Analysis of Legal Developments. On June 29, 2009, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law the. Electronic Discovery Act (âCalifornia EDAâ). The California EDA took immediate effect. as an urgency measure, âin order to eliminate uncertainty and confusion regarding the.
Tetraborate (borax) ion structure: pink, boron; red, oxygen; white, hydrogen. This tetrameric boron structure comprises two boron atoms in tetrahedral configuration sharing one common oxygen atom and linked by other oxygens to two other boron atoms present in trigonal configuration.
The difference between the two is: Boric acid is produced when borax is reacted with another acid (like sulfuric or hydrochloric acid). The result is an acid structure (pH of 5.0), rather than alkaline, as borax is (9.3 pH). (Iâm not going to get into the âis boric acid safe or notâ question here, because thatâs a whole ânother can of worms.) Borax and boric acid are found together in many places, especially volcanic areas where the borax has naturally reacted with sulfur. You can also find both compounds in seawater.
