explain me the preparation of plaster of paris from gysum....
Answers
Plaster of Paris is prepared by heating gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O) to a temperature of 373 K in a kiln. Actually the chemical name of gypsum is calcium sulphate dihydrate which means that the molecule of gypsum is in fact molecule of calcium sulphate which contains two molecules of water of crystallization. So when gypsum is heated then it loses one and half molecules of water of crystallization leaving only half molecule of water of crystallization remaining attached with calcium sulphate.
