Name:Magnesium silicate Synonyms:Silicic acid magnesium salt; Florisil Molecular Formula:MgSiO3 Molecular Weight:100.39 CAS Registry Number:1343-88-0 EINECS:215-681-1 Talc (derived from the Persian talc via Arabic talq) is a mineral composed of hydrated magnesium silicate with the chemical formula H2Mg3(SiO3)4 or Mg3Si4O10(OH)2. In loose form, it is the widely used substance known as talcum powder. It occurs as foliated to fibrous masses, its monoclinic crystals being so rare as to be almost unknown. It has a perfect basal cleavage, and the folia are non-elastic, although slightly flexible. It is sectile and very soft, with a hardness of 1, and can be easily scratched by a fingernail. It has a specific gravity of 2.52.8, a clear or dusty luster, and is translucent to opaque. Talc is not soluble in water, but it is slightly soluble in dilute mineral acids. Its colour ranges from white to grey or green and it has a distinctly greasy feel. Its streak is white.
