A museum is fitting transparent glass panels to indoor display cases. The panels will not be exposed to high temperatures. Soda-lime glass is chosen rather than borosilicate glass.
Suggest why.
Soda-lime glass is harder, so the panels resist scratching better.
Soda-lime glass is less brittle, so the panels will not crack.
Soda-lime glass is cheaper, reducing the cost of the display cases.
Soda-lime glass has a higher melting point, so it resists indoor temperatures.
