For example, the commercially available sodium silicate pentahydrate Na 2 SiO 3 ·5H 2 O is formulated as Na 2 SiO 2 (OH) 2 ·4H 2 O, and the nonahydrate Na 2 SiO 3 ·9H 2 O is formulated as Na 2 SiO 2 (OH) 2 ·8H 2 O. [5] The pentahydrate and nonahydrate forms have their own CAS Numbers, 10213-79-3 and 13517-24-3 respectively.
Sodium silicate can be used to fill gaps in the head gasket of an engine. This is especially useful for aluminium alloy cylinder heads, which are sensitive to thermally induced surface deflection. Sodium silicate is added to the cooling system through the radiator and allowed to circulate. When the sodium silicate reaches its "conversion ...
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]
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]
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

A cleaning company has been fined $171,000 after federal investigators found 11 children working a "dangerous" overnight shift at a meat processing plant in Iowa.
For example, Paraffin has very large molecules and thus a high heat capacity per mole, but as a substance it does not have remarkable heat capacity in terms of volume, mass, or atom-mol (which is just 1.41 R per mole of atoms, or less than half of most solids, in terms of heat capacity per atom).
