Why is rapid cooling needed to form glass?

Chemistry

inysia [295]3 years ago
5 0
Rapid cooling is needed to form glass, specifically tempered glass, to make the glass stronger and safer.

Unlike regular glass which breaks when undergoing rapid cooling, tempered glass is ductile. It is not brittle and its ductility is a result of undergoing the rapid cooling process. 

Through rapid cooling, tempered glass develops a core that has a large amount of tensile stress and a surface that has compressive stress. The compressive stress on the surface of the tempered glass makes it stronger than regular glass. It can also be broken but when it does, it breaks into small granular chunks that are less likely to cause injury.

Solution A has a pH of 3 and solution Z has
igor_vitrenko [27]
PH of a solution is -ln[H3O+] so,in case of A pH=3 or,-log[H3O+]=3 or,[H3O+]=10^-3 in case of B pH=6 pr,-log[H3O+]=6 or, [H3O+]=10^-6 so,hydronium ion concentration in solution A /the hydronium ion concentration in solution Z =10^-3/10^-6 =1000 2) Ca(OH)2+2 HNO3=Ca(NO3)2+2 H2O so the answer is 2.

How can I identify when the reaction is in equilibrium
masha68 [24]

Answer:

<h2>Chemical equilibrium, however, is always the point at which there is no bias towards creating products or reactants. If the forward reaction rate and reverse reaction rate are equal, then there is no net change in concentration of the reactants or products. This makes them appear to be stable.</h2>
