MinWeight: The oxides molecular weights of normative minerals

In NORRRM: Geochemical Toolkit for R

Description

Data frame with normative mineral names, chemical nomenclature, oxides molecular weights and theoretical density of minerals used in CIPW computations.

Usage

data(MinWeight)

Format

The format is a data frame with 36 rows and 6 columns, including the row names.

Details

This table is calculated from the 2011 table values after the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry), Commission on Isotopic Abundances and Atomic Weights. It is important to note that row names are the name of the normative minerals.
