Chemical formula for magma?

Different types of lava have different chemical compositions. Since not all rocks have the same chemical composition and lava is just liquid rock, it does not have an official formula. Most rocks (and therefore lava) are made up of a combination of the elements Oxygen, Silicon, Aluminum, Iron, Calcium, Sodium, Potassium, and Magnesium. Different types of rocks (and lava) have different amounts of these elements. Therefore, there is not a specific chemical formula for lava.
