To produce glass bottles, the mixture is prepared ia unit batches. Mixing is critical because complete homogeneity of the batch is necessary to produce quaUty glass. Gullet is added to the batch, usuady at discharge from the mixer. The cudet must be of the same color and basic composition, and be free of contamination such as metal bottie caps and tramp metal scraps. 

While this decomposition reaction is slow at room temperature, the disproportionation process can be accelerated by heat, certain catalysts (e.g., metal ions), and light. Traces of alkali metal ions are normally present in aqueous solutions stored in glass bottles, so plastic or wax-coated glass containers reduce the concentration of metal ion catalysts. Brown-colored containers limit the wavelengths of light that can be absorbed by the solution, restricting the initiation of the disproportionation reaction. 

Once the cocaine has been legally produced from the coca leaf, it is exported to various countries for medicinal use, basically as a topical local anesthetic (applied to the surface, not injected, only treating a particular area). In the United States the crystalline powder is imported to pharmaceutical companies who process and package the cocaine for medical use. Merck Pharmaceutical Company and Mallinckrodt Chemical Works distribute cocaine in crystalline form (Hydrochloride Salt) in dark colored glass bottles to pharmacies and hospitals throughout the United States. Cocaine, in the alkaloid form (base drug containing no additives such as hydrochloride in the crystalline form) is rarely used for medicinal purposes. Cocaine hydrochloride crystals or flakes come in Vs, A and 1 ounce bottles from the manufacturer and has a wholesale price of approximately 20 to 25 per ounce (100% pure). 

Immiscible liquids can be combined to give a colorful display in a bottle. Take a clear glass bottle and remove the label. A bottle used for fruit juices works well. Soaking the bottle in soapy water for several hours makes it easier to remove the label. Some scraping may be necessary. Make sure the bottle has a screw-on cap. Once the bottle is clean fill it halfway with water, then...

Neutrality. — Dissolve 10 gm. of the neutral potassium iodide in 50 cc. of water, in a stoppered, flint-glass bottle, overlay with 30 cc. of ether, and add 3 drops of iodeosin solution. After vigorously shaking, the aqueous layer will exhibit a pale-red color which disappears on adding 1 drop of decinormal hydrochloric acid and thoroughly shaking. 

C. A. Snyder and D. C. Snyder, "Simple Soda Bottle Solubility and Equilibria," /. Chem. Educ., Vol. 69,1992,573. Bromocresol green indicator, added to a glass bottle of seltzer water, changes color from yellow to green to blue as carbon dioxide concentration is decreased. Observations are related to temperature and pressure effects on gas solubility, and LeChatelier s principle is applied to the equilibria involved. 

The products are purplish in color because of decomposition and the presence of codistilled iodine. The color can be removed by shaking with mercury or copper and decanting through a glass-wool plug. The yield of iodotrichlorosilane is about 110 g. (42%) and that of diiododichlorosilane is about 55 g. (16%, based on the iodine used). The products should be stored in dark glass bottles or ampoules in a refrigerator. 

Iron compounds (particularly oxides) are widespread in nature, and they are often present in small amounts in sand and limestone. Inexpensive glass sometimes has a slightly greenish color that can be avoided if raw materials of high purity are used. Very old glass bottles frequently have a greenish tint because of this condition. 

Mercury nitride forms a chocolate colored powder, which is slowly decomposed by water. The dry nitride tarnishes in air, and is slowly decomposed in acidic media. The nitride is very explosive, and must be handled with extreme care. It detonates violently yielding a white flame with a bluish purple border, and also when heated. The salt can be detonated by rubbing it with a rounded glass stir rod—very friction sensitive. Mercury nitride also easily detonates by shock, or percussion. Handle with care never store dry keep submerged in a water free solvent such as kerosene in amber glass bottles in a cool place. It is advisable to desensitize mercury nitride with gum Arabic, paraffin wax, or starch immediately after preparation, and these mixtures should be carefully blended using a wood spoon or plastic spatula—metal and glass should be avoided. ... 

Arny and Steinberg (24) reported in their paper titled "Deterioration of Chemicals," the photostability of products stored in commercially available glass bottles. These researchers eliminated the possibility of chemical differences that might be due to batch-to-batch variations in the glass bottles by using sealed Pyrex tubes as their sample containers. These sealed samples were then put into the various colored glass bottles to be tested. All samples were then stored in a "dark room" until used. When it became necessary to open these samples, a dark room, illuminated by an electric lamp of low intensity was used. 

One task a chemist often handles is the separation of the components of a mixture based on one or more physical properties. This task is similar to sorting recyclable materials. You can separate glass bottles based on their color and metal cans based on their attraction to a magnet. Techniques used by chemists include filtration, which relies on particle size, and distillation and evaporation, which rely on differences in boiling point.
