The general formula of zeolite is $\mathrm{Na}_2 Z$. In this ' $Z$ ' represents
  1. $\mathrm{AlSi}_2 \mathrm{O}_8 \cdot \times \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
  2. $\mathrm{Al}_3 \mathrm{Si}_2 \mathrm{O}_8 \cdot x \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
  3. $\mathrm{Al}_2 \mathrm{Si}_2 \mathrm{O}_8 \cdot x \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
  4. $\mathrm{AlO}_2 \cdot x \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$

Solution

In the general formula of zeolite i.e. $\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{Z}$, the $Z$ is $\mathrm{Al}_2 \mathrm{Si}_2 \mathrm{O}_8 \cdot x \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$.
