Na2011SiO2
The chemical formula Na2O 11SiO2 represents a sodium silicate compound. This compound falls within the broader family of soluble silicates, often referred to as water glass. The ratio of sodium oxide (Na2O) to silicon dioxide (SiO2) is approximately 1:11, indicating a high silica content relative to sodium.
Sodium silicates are typically produced by fusing sand (silicon dioxide) with sodium carbonate (soda ash) at
In its solid form, sodium silicate is often amorphous and glassy. When dissolved in water, it forms
