State whether the following is true or false.
A glass with soda but no lime would dissolve slowly in water.

  • A.True
  • B.False
  • C.True only at large scales
  • D.False only at small scales

Answer: A

Correct answer: True

Soda-silica glass without lime is water glass, and it genuinely dissolves - it is sold as a solution for exactly that reason. Lime is what makes the composition durable, by binding the network against attack. Soda lime glass is therefore a three-part compromise: silica for the structure, soda so it can be melted, and lime so the result survives contact with water.
