The popularity of Minecraft mods has been credited for helping Minecraft become one of the best-selling video games of all time. The first Minecraft mods worked by decompiling and modifying the Java source code of the game. The original version of the game, now called Minecraft: Java Edition, is still modded this way, but with more advanced tools.
Sodium metasilicate is the chemical substance with formula Na 2 SiO 3, which is the main component of commercial sodium silicate solutions. It is an ionic compound consisting of sodium cations Na + and the polymeric metasilicate anions [– SiO 2− 3 –] n.
Sodium silicate solutions can also be used as a spin-on adhesive layer to bond glass to glass [21] or a silicon dioxide–covered silicon wafer to one another. [22] Sodium silicate glass-to-glass bonding has the advantage that it is a low-temperature bonding technique, as opposed to fusion bonding. [21]
Idealized structure of sodium metasilicate. Metasilicates are silicates containing ions of empirical formula SiO 2− 3. Common stoichiometries include M I 2 SiO 3 and M II SiO 3. Metasilicates can be cyclic, usually the hexamer (SiO 3) 12− 6 or chains (SiO 3)n 2−. [1] Common compounds containing metasilicate anion are: Inosilicates
The family includes orthosilicate SiO 4− 4 (x = 0), metasilicate SiO 2− 3 (x = 1), and pyrosilicate Si 2 O 6− 7 (x = 0.5, n = 2). The name is also used for any salt of such anions, such as sodium metasilicate; or any ester containing the corresponding chemical group, such as tetramethyl orthosilicate. [1]
Sodium orthosilicate is the chemical compound with the molecular formula Na 4 SiO 4. It is one of the sodium silicates, specifically an orthosilicate, formally a salt of the unstable orthosilicic acid H 4 SiO 4. [2] [3] [4]
Sodium fluorosilicate is used in some countries as additives for water fluoridation, opal glass raw material, ore refining, or other fluoride chemical (like sodium fluoride, magnesium silicofluoride, cryolite, aluminum fluoride) production. [5] It also is an ingredient in some ceramic cements.
Water glass ( sodium silicate [Na 2 SiO 3 or (Na 2 O)(SiO 2)] ) is a high strength binder used with silica molding sand both for cores and molds. [ 22 ] : 69–70 To cure a mixture of finely ground sand (e.g. by using a sand muller) and 3 to 4% of sodium silicate the binder, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) gas is used.
