The 10 million Congo deaths figure comes from later demographic estimates.
Claim:
Sources that condemned King Leopold II for abuses in the Congo Free State do not support the specific claim that King Leopold II was responsible for killing 10 million people.
HARDLY BS
The “10 million” Congo Free State deaths figure is a retrospective demographic shortfall estimate.

Solder wetting primarily depends on flux-driven oxide removal, not sodium silicate.
Claim:
Sodium silicate solution (water glass), used in glass bonding, can help tin-based solder (solder wire or solder paste) bond during soldering because high temperature increases molecular motion and directly lowers the surface tension of tin.
