Which one of the following statements about the zeolite is false?

Which one of the following statements about the zeolite is false?

Options

  1. AThey are used as cation exchangers
  2. BThey have open structure which enables them to take up small molecules
  3. CZeolites are aluminosilicates having three dimensional network
  4. DSome at the SiO44−\mathrm{SiO}_4^{4-} units are replaced by AlO45−\mathrm{AlO}_4^{5-} and AlO69−\mathrm{AlO}_6^{9-} ions in zeolites

Correct answer

D. Some at the SiO44−\mathrm{SiO}_4^{4-} units are replaced by AlO45−\mathrm{AlO}_4^{5-} and AlO69−\mathrm{AlO}_6^{9-} ions in zeolites

Step-by-step solution

The zeolites are noted for their ability towards ion-exchange and reversible dehydration. They have a framework structure that encloses interconnected cavities occupied by large metal cations (positively charged ions) and water molecules. Related Theory Zeolite are hydrated aluminosilicate minerals that contain alkali and alkaline-earth metals. They have a honeycomb-like structure, which makes them shape-selective catalysts. They have an extended 3D-network of silicates in which some silicon atoms are replaced by aluminium atoms giving Al-O-Si framework.
