Silica hydrate (1:?)

Description:
Silica hydrate, specifically the compound with the CAS number 10279-57-9, is a form of silicon dioxide (SiO2) that contains water molecules within its structure. This substance typically exhibits a gel-like consistency and is often referred to as hydrated silica or silica gel. It is characterized by its high surface area, porosity, and ability to absorb moisture, making it useful in various applications, including as a desiccant, in chromatography, and as a thickening agent in various formulations. The presence of water in its structure can influence its reactivity and stability, as well as its interaction with other substances. Silica hydrate is generally non-toxic and chemically inert, which contributes to its widespread use in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Additionally, it can be produced through various methods, including the hydrolysis of silicon alkoxides or the precipitation from silicate solutions. Overall, silica hydrate is valued for its versatility and functional properties in both industrial and laboratory settings.
