Which is the correct formula of Forstrite

Question

Which is the correct formula of Forstrite (A) Mg2SiO4 (B) Al2(OH)4 (Si2O5) (C) Zr SiO4 (D) Ca3Si3O9

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Forsterite ( Mg 2 SiO 4) is magnesium rich end member of olivine solid solution series. Ca 3 SiO 9 is walstromite. ZrSiO 4 is zircon. Al 2( OH )4( Si 2 O 5) is kaolinite, a clay mineral.

Q. Which is the correct formula of Forstrite

$M g_{2} S i O_{4}$

$A l_{2} (O H)_{4} (S i_{2} O_{5})$

$Z r S i O_{4}$

$C a_{3} S i_{3} O_{9}$

Forsterite $(M g_{2} S i O_{4})$ is magnesium rich end member of olivine solid solution series.

$C a_{3} S i O_{9}$ is walstromite.

$Z r S i O_{4}$ is zircon.

$A l_{2} (O H)_{4} (S i_{2} O_{5})$ is kaolinite, a clay mineral.
