Does Boric Acid Expire ? or become B2O3 after 5-10 years on its own?
Hi,
I have had some Boric acid (99.9%) bought a very long time ago... The expiry date was in 2006...
I have used it recently and it is as if it's pure B2O3. Is that even possible??! How could it be?! or is there something I am missing?
The experiment I had done was heating some of this Boric acid along with certain glass modifiers (Na2O and PbO) and the density as well as other optical properties of resulting glass are as if I have used B2O3 in the batch. There hasn't been any weight loss associated with the decomposition of Boric acid either!
thanks in advance...
