The sodaSoda *Soda* may mean:A chemical compound containing sodium... serves as a flux to lower the temperature at which the silica melts. Soda glass has a lower melting temperature vs pure silica, and has improved mechanical properties due to its slight increases in elasticity. These changes arise because the silicon dioxide and soda react to form sodium silicates of the general formula Na₂[SiO₂]_x[SiO₃].
