Abstract:
The effect of CaO∖SiO2 molar ratio on the electrical properties of some glass materials was examined, using the impedance spectroscopy, at different frequency ranges, from 100 Hz up to 5 MHz. Also, a trial was accomplished to study the influence of CaO∖SiO2 molar ratio on some physical properties such as density, micro-hardness and bending strength. Six glass batches, based on Sinai basaltic rocks and bypass cement dust, were prepared with different CaO/SiO2 molar ratios (0.2-0.93 mol %). Accordingly, the electrical properties (conductivity dielectric constant and dielectric loss) of these samples show noticeable change. Electrical results show that the samples with relatively low (CaO/SiO2) molar ratio have relatively higher electrical conductivity, compared to the other samples with higher (CaO/SiO2) molar ratios, at different frequencies. Also, at the same time, the bending strength and Vickers micro-hardness show a gradual increase from 56 to 118 MPa and from 4020 to 6120 MPa, respectively, with decreasing CaO/SiO2 molar ratio. The density of the samples shows a successive increase from 2.79 to 2.96 gm/cm3 with the successive additions of bypass cement dust.

Physical Properties Affecting Solubility
As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...

Physical Properties of Ethers
An ether molecule has a net dipole moment due to the polarity of C–O bonds. Subsequently, boiling points of ethers are lower than those of alcohols of comparable molecular weight and slightly higher than those of hydrocarbons of comparable molecular weight (Table 1).
Ethers can act as hydrogen bond acceptors, making them more water-soluble than hydrocarbons, but since ethers cannot act as hydrogen bond donors, they are much less soluble in water than alcohols. Ethers are considered...
