Carbon in CaCO has an ON of 0. In CO2 it has an ON of +4. In CaCO3 it has an ON of +4. Therefore, there is no redox reaction as far as I can tell.

I really don't know the answer to this. Anyone else have any ideas? I am clueless.

Why is the thread titled boric acid yet you talk about boric oxide in the problem?
