Sodium silicate, commonly known as water glass or liquid glass, is a compound containing sodium oxide (Na₂O) and silica (SiO₂). It is typically represented by the formula Na2SiO3text{Na}_2text{SiO}_3, but it can vary, forming a range of compositions depending on the ratio of sodium oxide to silica.
Properties
- Physical State: It is usually found in a glassy, crystalline solid form or as a thick, syrupy liquid.
- Appearance: Colorless to light brown.
- Solubility: Highly soluble in water, forming a viscous solution.
- pH: Alkaline, typically around 11-12.
Production
Sodium silicate is produced by fusing sodium carbonate (soda ash) and silica sand at high temperatures. The general reaction is: Na2CO3+SiO2→Na2SiO3+CO2text{Na}_2text{CO}_3 + text{SiO}_2 rightarrow text{Na}_2text{SiO}_3 + text{CO}_2
Description

Normal Butanol 165 kg
Normal butanol, also known as n-butanol or 1-butanol, is a four-carbon alcohol that is commonly used as a solvent, chemical intermediate, and fuel. Its chemical formula is C4H10O, and it is an isomer of other butanols, including isobutanol, sec-butanol, and tert-butanol. The term "normal" in the name refers to the fact that the butyl group (C4H9) is attached to the primary carbon atom (the one with only one other carbon atom attached to it) of the alcohol functional group.
