D

CaSiO3CaSi{{O}_{3}}

Answer

Ca3(PO4)2.CaSiO3C{{a}_{3}}{{(P{{O}_{4}})}_{2}}.CaSi{{O}_{3}}

Explanation

Solution

Thomas slag is also called as phosphatic slag. It is a mixture of calcium phosphate and calcium silicate. It is used as manure. Chemically it is Ca3(PO4)2.CaSiO3.C{{a}_{3}}{{(P{{O}_{4}})}_{2}}.CaSi{{O}_{3}}.
