The major component used in preparation of different types of glasses is :

  • A.Silica
  • B.Sodium borate
  • C.Sodium silicate
  • D.Calcium silicate

Answer: A

Silica is the major component of glass.

Ordinary soda-lime glass is about 75 per cent \(\mathrm{SiO_2}\), with sodium carbonate to lower the melting point and limestone to make the product insoluble. Adding boron oxide instead gives borosilicate glass, which expands little on heating.
