medium Q6 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Identify salts used in glass making
Glass is primarily made from silica mixed with other compounds to lower melting point.Step 2: Role of sodium carbonate
Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) acts as a flux in glass manufacture, lowering melting temperature of silica.Final Answer:
Sodium carbonate → Option AQuick Check:
Glass manufacture salt = Sodium carbonate ✅
Quick Trick: Sodium carbonate lowers melting point in glass making.
Common Mistakes:
- Confusing calcium chloride or ammonium chloride as glass components.
