Welcome to the wonderful world of chemistry. Today with the help of chemistry of materials set from male chemistry, you will produce a liquid which solidifies when pouring it from one cup to another. Perform this experiment on a plastic tray to contain any possible spills. Don't forget to put on protective gloves and goggles before doing the experiment. To open a bottle containing a region, push the cap down and turn it. Pierce the bottle nozzle with an unbent paper clip. For the silicate plastic experiment, you will need two disposable cups, calcium hydroxide, liquid glass solution, a plastic syringe and some water. Pour the entire bottle of calcium hydroxide into the first plastic cup. Using the syringe, add 15 milliliters of water to the cup and mix the contents with a swirling motion. Pour the solution of liquid glass into the second cup. Now pour the liquid back and forth from one cup to the other until the mixture solidifies. Calcium hydroxide reacts with sodium silicate, the main component of the liquid glass. As a result of this reaction, water insoluble calcium silicate forms and the mixture solidifies.
