Solution

The correct option is C

Sodium carbonate


Washing soda (Sodium carbonate) plays a significant role in the glass industry as it is used as an ingredient for the manufacturing glass. First, a mixture of washing soda, sand or silicon dioxide and calcium carbonate are heated at a very high temperature. Then, it is cooled down very quickly which results in the formation of glass.
