oooH i have used beetroot juice as an internal standard!

Could have those silicate flow agents in it to make packaging it a breeze.

That's unusual, people more generally use it as a pH indicator.
It would be easy enough to check for silicates- they won't dissolve in water.

Some silicate salts (particular isomers) are soluble in water - sodium silicate - water glass - being a very good prime example.

He meant fine silica, as an anti-caking agent. That's definitely insoluble in water.

And would you like me to write out the balanced equation for the reaction of sodium silicate with potassium bitartrate, or will you just accept that silica is one of the products and it's not soluble.
