Answer:

X- CaSO₄. 2H₂0 (GYPSUM)

Y- CaSO₄. 1/2 H₂0 (POP)

Z- CaSO₄

EQN- CaSO₄. 2H₂0 →  CaSO₄. 1/2 H₂0 + 1 1/2 H₂O

               X                          Y

EQN- CaSO₄. 2H₂0 → CaSO₄

                                         Z

A commonly used compound for making chalks and other pottery articles is plaster of Paris. Its chemical formula is CaSO4.1/2H2O. It is obtained by CaSO4.2H2O on partial losing water of crystallization by controlled heating at 120-130°C. When CaSO4.2H2O is strongly heated, it loses whole of water of crystallization and gives anhydrous calcium sulphate. Thus 'x' is CaSO4.2H2O; y is CaSO4H2O and 'z' is CaSO4.
