The crystal structure of silicates is disrupted by sodium, calcium, and aluminum, lowering the melting point and viscosity of soda-lime glass. Source: Mrmw, CC0. Glass made from pure silica sand ...

a new type of tempered glass called soda-lime has been used. Borosilicate glass is the one that can handle temperature changes better, while soda-lime glass is more sensitive. It has its own ...

Basic supplies include soda-lime glass tubing and pre-coiled tungsten filaments. Support wires are made from Dumet, an alloy of iron, nickel, and cobalt with an oxidized copper cladding which ...

Borosilicate glass has a much higher melting point than soda-lime glass. State and explain which type of glass would be best to make a boiling tube, for use in a school chemistry laboratory.
