Bayer's process involves.
(a)Synthesis of $\mathrm{B_2H_6}$ from $\mathrm{NaBH_4}$
(b)Synthesis of $\mathrm{NaBH_4}$ from borax
(c)Synthesis of $\mathrm{NaBH_4}$ from $\mathrm{B_2H_6}$
(d)Synthesis of $\mathrm{B_3N_3H_6}$ from $\mathrm{B_2H_6}$
Answer
Explanation
The reaction mechanism of the typical Bayer's process is given below: \[ \mathrm{Na_2B_4O_7} + 16\mathrm{Na} + 8\mathrm{H_2} + 7\mathrm{SiO_2} \rightarrow 4\mathrm{NaBH_4} + 7\mathrm{Na_2SiO_3} \]
This is used for the synthesis of $\mathrm{NaBH_4}$ from borax. Open in whiteboard · Browse this chapter in the app
