PT.

​

Sodium silicates are crystalline solids that have a glassy appearance. The common terms for an aqueous solution of sodium silicate are water glass and liquid glass.

​

They produce alkaline solutions, since they are soluble in water. This chemical compound is soluble is stable in alkaline as well as neutral solutions. However, acidic medium, the ions of silicate react with the ions of hydrogen to produce silicic acid, which has the tendency to decompose into hydrated silicon dioxide gel. The final product obtained, after driving off the water is silica gel, which is a hard-translucent substance.
