The silicate anion in the mineral Kionite is a chain of three `SiO_(4)` tetrahedra that share corners with adjacent tetrahedra. The mineral also contains `Ca^(2+)` ions, `Cu^(2+)` ions, and water molecules in a `1:1:1` ration. (a) Give the formula and charge of the silicate anion. (b) GIve the complete formula for the mineral.
