Sodium carbonate, boron oxide, and silicon dioxide when heated together and quickly cooled produce a borosilicate glass.
Question:
Sodium carbonate, boron oxide, and silicon dioxide when heated together and quickly cooled produce a borosilicate glass. Explain why the powder diffraction pattern of this product shows no diffraction maxima. Heating the borosilicate glass in a DTA instrument shows an exothermic event at 500°C and the powder X-ray diffraction pattern observed from the product shows diffraction maxima. Explain these observations.
