Identify the mineral from following containing aluminium

Options

  1. AMagnesite
  2. BHaematite
  3. CCryolite
  4. DSiderite

Correct answer

C. Cryolite

Step-by-step solution

The chemical name of cryolite is sodium hexafluoroaluminate and its chemical formula is Na₃AlF₆ . It's a rare mineral associated with the once-large deposit at Ivittuut on Greenland's west coast, which was depleted by 1987 . Cryolite, sodium aluminium fluoride, is a colourless to white halide mineral. It's found in large quantities in Ivigtut, Greenland, and in small amounts in Spain, Colorado, and other places. It is used as a solvent for bauxite in the electrolytic production of aluminium and has various other me
