The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following is not an ore of lithium, we will analyze each option provided: 1. **Petalite**: - Formula: LiAlSi4O10 - Composition: Petalite contains lithium (Li), aluminum (Al), and silicon (Si). - Conclusion: Petalite is an ore of lithium. 2. **Triphyllite**: - Formula: LiFePO4 - Composition: Triphyllite contains lithium (Li), iron (Fe), and phosphate (PO4). - Conclusion: Triphyllite is also an ore of lithium. 3. **Albite**: - Formula: NaAlSi3O8 - Composition: Albite contains sodium (Na), aluminum (Al), and silicon (Si), but does not contain lithium (Li). - Conclusion: Albite is **not** an ore of lithium. 4. **Spodumene**: - Formula: LiAlSi2O6 - Composition: Spodumene contains lithium (Li), aluminum (Al), and silicon (Si). - Conclusion: Spodumene is an ore of lithium. After analyzing all the options, we find that **Albite** does not contain lithium and is therefore not an ore of lithium. ### Final Answer: **Albite** is not an ore of lithium.
