Appendix 1 a Chemical Calculations Appendix 1A: CIPW Norm Calculation Procedures Note: These rules have been abridged for the most common rocks. They omit certain contingent calculations which must be observed if the rock is unusual or if rigorous accuracy is required. See form on pp, 432-433 for guidance in the calculations 1. AAU Determine for each oxide the molecular number (divide Wt.% by Mol. Wt.). Multiply by 1000 to clear of decimals. Throw away any result fess than 2 unless it is K,O. . Add MnO to FeO if MnO > 2. Make normative minerals as follows. Every time you use some of an oxide, enter it as debit against the analysis. Cross off all oxides when they are used up. . Apatite (ap) All P,O, + 3.33 times as much CaO as there was P,O,. . Magnetite (mr) All Fe,O, + equal amount of FeO. . Imenite (if) All TiO, + equal amount of FeO. . Orthoclase (or) All K,O + equal amount of Al,O;. . Albite (provisional) (ab) All Na,O + equal amount of Al,O;. . Anorthite (an) Ail the remaining Al,O, + equal amount of CaO. "If the CaO is gone before the Al,Os, the excess Al,O, is called corundum (c). 428. Appendix | Chemical Calculations 9. Assign SiO, = 6or, 6ab, 2an.
