Sodium Silicates

I need to do some titrations with silicates. One of my silicates is unidentifiable with respect to the fact that I have no approximate basis for a starting molecular weight which would be helpful. It is simply a sodium silicate powder that is insoluble in water even at boiling. Would it be a good starting point to assume a 122.1 g/mol for this? As opposed to the various other silicates that can range from 280 to 350?
