Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The solidification temperature of pure tin needs to be determined. Whether the working range of the glass gets reduced by it or not needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Borosilicate glass encompasses glass with silicate and boron trioxide as its foremost constituents. They are acknowledged for their low thermal expansion with very low thermal coefficient, forcreating them thermal shock resistant. It is more associated with other glasses.

These glasses are also very less subjective to thermal stresses and are broadly used for making of reagent bottles.

Solidification temperature is defined as the temperature where atoms of molten state of material start to bond together and begin to form crystals. When a material begins to solidify, the crystals begin to grow in liquid.
