What is cobalt glass?
cobalt glass is glass containing cobalt oxide or cobaltous oxide as a colouring agent. These oxides give the glass a blue colouring.
Element used in pyrex glass?
Pyrex is also known as borosilicate glass. It consists primarily of Silica and boron oxide. According to Wikipedia, typical borosilicate glass is composed of: 70% silica (silicone dioxide SiO2), 10% boron oxide, 8% sodium oxide, 8% potassium oxide, and 1% calcium oxide (lime). Wikipedia does note that some kitchenware glass marketed as Pyrex is actually soda lime glass. (see Wikipedia link)
What is the name for this formula BaO?
BaO is Barium Oxide. Barium Oxide is used in the making of glass.
What is Cerium Oxide commonly used for?
Cerium Oxide is most commonly used for glass polishing. The Cerium Oxide makes the glass softer therefore making it much easier to polish. It is also used in catalytic converters.
What is a bioglass?
A bioglass is a bioactive glass, comprised of silica, sodium oxide, calcium oxide, and phosphorus pentoxide.
What is cobalt glass?
cobalt glass is glass containing cobalt oxide or cobaltous oxide as a colouring agent. These oxides give the glass a blue colouring.
Are there minerals in glass?
Typical glass is made of about 75% silica (SiO2) Na2O, lime (calcium oxide - CaO), magnesium oxide (MgO) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and some other additives.

BaO is Barium Oxide. Barium Oxide is used in the making of glass.
Is glass an oxide or a carbonate?
No, glass is a form of matter. Many, but not all, glasses are oxides.
What is Cerium Oxide commonly used for?
Cerium Oxide is most commonly used for glass polishing. The Cerium Oxide makes the glass softer therefore making it much easier to polish. It is also used in catalytic converters.
Is lead banned in glass or stained glass?
No, however, newer stained glass utilized non-lead solder, and the lead (PbO, lead oxide) in leaded glass has been replaced more and more by the use of barium oxide, zinc oxide, or potassium oxide. While not banned, lead is used less often today, and the rare lead glass contains 24% PbO or near that amount. It is recommended that any glass suspected of containing PbO should be avoided with food or beverages.
What is a bioglass?
A bioglass is a bioactive glass, comprised of silica, sodium oxide, calcium oxide, and phosphorus pentoxide.
What is the chemical formula of red glass?
Red glass is made by dissolving gold in aqua regia, recovering the gold oxide thereby created, and adding the gold oxide to molten glass. Because of the gold content red glass is very expensive.
Is Pyrex glass made with the addition of boron oxide?
Yes
How is uranium made into glass?
It is possible to obtain very beutiful objects from uranium glass (a glass with some percent of uranium oxide).
What is the use of boric oxide to improve the quality of glass?
Borosilicate glass is resistant to higher temperatures; this glass is used for chemical labware.
