because its a cheap and there is plenty of limestone
Answer:
Limestone is one of the primary components of glass. When limestone (calcium carbonate CaCO3) and lime (CaOH)is heated with silica sand (SiO2) it makes a fluid solution not crystallize when it is cooled. This material is glass.
Glass is made by melting silica sand, limestone and soda ash in a furnace at around 1,500°C.
Glass is made from sand and limestone. Limestone is added before the heating process in which the glass is formed. The limestone in the glass helps protect it from weathering. After the heating process which is done in cool conditions a soda-lime-silica glass product is formed, which is glass, as we know it. Glass is used in almost everything: glasses, windows, mirrors, computers etc.
* 'The hard shells of living things produce some kinds of limestone. How dopes limestone form? Limestone forms in the ocean, many living things, including coral, clams, oysters, and snails, have shells or skeletons made of calcite. There shells pile up as sediments on the ocean floor. It turns into calcite cement after millions of years which pieces together forming limestone. Limestone is also known as chalk. * Over time coral buried by sediments will form into limestone (like the animal shells).
You can't really say that glass is made from limestone. Glass is made from a range of different ingredients and the ingredients in different types of glass vary. The ingredient all glasses have in common is silica sand, so you could say that glass is made from silica sand! The main difference between glasses is the flux, so they're named after the flux contained in them. Flux envelops each grain of sand to lower the melting temperature. The most common type of glass is called soda/lime glass and the flux is sodium carbonate and lime. The lime is manufactured from limestone, so you can say "some glass uses the products of limestone as a flux". Other commonly used fluxes are boron (for borosilicate glass), lead and flint.
Limestone is a sedimentary rock made of dead animal shells formed deep down in the ocean; limestone also contains a large amount of calcium carbonate. Carboniferous limestone is a different type of limestone. It was formed around 350,000,000 years ago as a marine deposit in a warm, clear, shallow sea. The rock is well bedded and jointed. The cracks that separate the beds are called bedding planes and those that run down through the rock are called joints.

Glass is made from limestone and sand. Limestone is added just before the heating process to form glass to help protect it from weathering.
Limestone is combined with silica and soda ash and heated in a furnace at 1,700 degrees Celsius to make glass.
yes
it is mixed with sand and put under extreme heat
The sedimentary rock that is used in making cement is limestone. Cement, which is used in making concrete, is a mixture of marl and lime.
Sandstone is used as a building stone and it is used as an indicator of erosional and depositional processes by geologists. And, limestone are used as a soil conditioner, in the manufacture of glass, in agriculture and even in jewellery.
we wouldn't have these- -Limestone is used in buildings and roads. - Limestone can be used in glass making. - Limestone is used in toothpaste. - Limestone is used in cement and mortar. - Limestone is used in bread and cereals as a source of calcium. - Limestone is used to make paper white. -Limestone is used to purify sugar. -Pulverized limestone is used to neutralize acidic soils. -Limestone can be used to make brake pads. -Limestone is used in the preparation of wools and dyes. -Limestone is used to make antacids. -Limestone is used in climbing walls. -Limestone is used a suppression of methane explosions in underground coalmines. -Limestone is added to plastics, paint, tiles and other materials as both white pigment and cheap filler. -Limestone is used in the manufacture of quicklime (calcium oxide) and slaked lime (calcium hydroxide). -Limestone can be used to create steel by using it in a blast furnace.
Limestone Uses:Used as aggregate or base for roads and foundations.Used in the purification of molten glass.Used to remove impurities from molten iron.Used as filler and abrasive in toothpastes.Used in the production of Portland cement.Used as an aggregate in concrete.Used as a soil conditioner for neutralizing acidic soils.Used as a source of calcium in supplements and food additives.Used to make paper white.Used in the purification of sugar.Used in the manufacture of brake pads.Used in the manufacture of medicinal antacids.Used in the preparation of wools and dyes.Used as a construction stone in buildings.Used as counter tops and flooring.Used as a water neutralizer.Used as a paint additive.Used as landscaping rock.

Limestone Sand
mortar is used to stick stones or bricks together. blocks of limestone are used instead of bricks in replacement. concrete is made from limestone and it is used for paths. glass is used in windows are made from limestone.
Limestone
actually, limestone is used in making concrete, not the other way around.
Sandstone and limestone were traditionally used as building materials, though stonework is very expensive now. Limestone is used in vast quantities to manufacture cement, mortar and concrete, in the production of glass, and of steel, and in making slaked lime for agriculture. There are many more uses including reducing the acidity of lakes.
This looks to me like a recipe for making glass (you would have to melt them).
