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

The dissolution of $\mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{OH}{)}_3$ in a solution of $\mathrm{NaOH}$ results in the formation of -

1. ${\left[\mathrm{Al}{\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)}_4{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_2\right]}^{+}$       

2. $\left[\mathrm{Al}{\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)}_3{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_3\right]$

3. ${\left[\mathrm{Al}{\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)}_2{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_4\right]}^{-}$     

4. $\left[\mathrm{Al}{\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)}_6{\left(\mathrm{OH}\right)}_3\right]$

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 $\mathrm{B}—\mathrm{O}—\mathrm{B}$ bonds.

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

4. It is made up of two triangular ${\mathrm{BO}}_3$ units and two tetrahedral ${\mathrm{BO}}_4$ units.

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

2. ${\left({\mathrm{GeCl}}_6\right)}^{2-}$

3. ${\left({\mathrm{CCl}}_6\right)}^{2-}$

(1) Twelve electrons are involed in bonding 

(2) Four, two centre-two electron bonds

(3) Two, three centre-two electron bonds 

(4) X does not react with ${\mathrm{NH}}_3$
