Borax is actually made of two tetrahedra and two triangular units joined together and should be written as : $Na_2[B_4O_5(OH)_4]·8H_2O$
Consider the following statements about borax :
$a.$ Each boron atom has four $B-O$ bonds
$b.$ Each boron atom has three $B-O$ bonds
$c.$ Two boron atoms have four $B-O$ bonds while other two have three $B-O$ bonds
$d.$ Each boron atom has one $-OH$ groups
Select correct statement(s) :
$a, b$
$b, c$
$c, d$
$a, c$
The incorrect statement regarding above reactions is
$\mathop {Al}\limits_{metal} \xrightarrow[{(aq.)}]{{HCl}}'X' + Gas\,'P'$
$\mathop {Al}\limits_{metal} \xrightarrow[{ + {H_2}O}]{{NaOH\,(aq.)}}'Y' + Gas\,'Q'$
