Answer to Problem 1SAQ

Correct answer: The formula of aluminosilicate is Na3(Al3SiO8). So, the correct answer is option (c).

Explanation of Solution

Justify reasons for the correct statement:

The AlO2 units substitute for three-fourths of SiO2; therefore, the formula has three units of AlO2 for every SiO2 unit. Balance the charge of every AlO2 ion in the formula by an Na+ ion.

Thus, the formula for aluminosilicate is as follows:

Na3(AlO2)3(SiO2) or Na3(Al3SiO8)

Hence, option (c) is correct.

Conclusion

The correct answer is option (c).
