A.
Strengite : FePO4·2H2O
B.
Variscite : AlPO4·2H2O
C.
Gibbsite : Al2O3·3H2O
D.
Hematite : FeOOH
Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Strengite is a relatively rare iron phosphate mineral with the formula FePO4·2H2O.
Variscite is a hydrated aluminum phosphate mineral with the formula AlPO4·2H2O. it is a relatively rare phosphate mineral.
Gibbsite is one of the mineral forms of aluminium hydroxide with the chemical formula Al2O3·3H2O. It is an important ore of aluminium.
Hematite is a heavy and relatively hard oxide mineral, ferric oxide (Fe2O3), that constitutes the most important iron ore because of its high iron content (70 percent) and its abundance.
