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.

HEYA HERE'S THE ANSWER

GYPSUM IS A HARD MASS OF SOLID.

WHEN THIS GYPSUM IS HEATED UP TO A TEMPERATURE OF 373K IT FORMS A POWDER LIKE SUBSTANCE CALLED PLASTER OF PARIS AKA POP .

CaSO4.1/2H2O is the equation FOR prep of PLASTER OF PARIS.

Mark IT AS THE BRAINLIEST.


akki08: plz give the full equation of this reaction
OFFSETVISHAL: IF U MARK IT AS THE BRAINLIEST I WILL
OFFSETVISHAL: CaSO4.2H2O--->CaSO4.1/2H2O+1 1/2H2O IS THE COMPLETE EQUATION FOR THE PREPARATION OF PLASTER OF PARIS
akki08: thank you
