This test is applied for the indentification of the cations of the coloured salt only because the borax forms the corresponding metaborates which possess characteristic colouri. For example with `CuSO_(4)`, the reaction
`CuSO_(4)+underset((“from borax”))(B_(2)O_(3))tounderset((“blue”))(Cu(BO_(2))_(2)+SO_(3)`
