Which mineral is used for making glass and computer chips?
Computer chips are made with Silicon (metal). Glass, however, is made from Silica (sand) which sounds similar, but is actually quite different.
Is glass more soundproof or wood?
glass
Is optical fiber ihollow or not?
The main part of an optical fiber is a glass fiber (NOT hollow) within another glass fiber of another type of glass. Both types of glass have a different index of refraction; the signal travels through the inner glass fiber.
What is the advantage of blowing glass?
You get to shape the glass into what you want. It is creative and art.
Did cutting change any property of glass?
change any property of the glass?
What is a composition of fluxes and silica fused to make glass?
Frit
What is a composition of fluxes and silica fused at high temperatures to make glass called?
frit
What is the partly fused sand and fluxes of which glass is made?
Frit
What is glass and how it is made?
Glass is silica dioxide. It is made by melting silica sand.
What is the partly fused mixture of sand and fluxes to make glass?
frit
Is silica is used for making glass?
Yes. Most glass begins as silica sand.
Does glass contain silica?
Yes. Silica is the primary component of most types of glass.
What rock is glass made of?
silica or silica sand
Glass is mostly made of silica which is found in sand if lead is added to silica to make a crystal vase silica it is called what?
Leaded glass.
What is borosilicate glassware?
Glass types are named after the fluxes that are used to lower the melting temperature of the grains of silica sand. Borosilicate, therefore, contains boron, or a derivative, such as boric acid, or borax, to do this. Borosilicate glass is most often used for cookery or in laboratory apparatus, as it is very resistant to thermal shock and corrosion by acids.
What is a glass in chemistry?
