KBIsASlytherin Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (from a severe amateur, please bear with me) I mixed heavy dilutes of sodium tetraborate and sodium metasilicate which created a whitish, translucent gel with water resting on top. Does anybody know what I just made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cuthber Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 You probably made silica gel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silica_gel#Preparation Borax isn't usually thought of as an acid, but it's more acidic than sodium silicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
