plaster of paris (POP) has chemical formula CaSO4. 1/2 H2O which is produced by heating gypsum having chemical formula CaSO4.2 H2O at 373 kelvin.

the reaction is--

CaSO4. 1/2 H2O (POP) + 1 and 1/2 H2O -----------> CaSO4.2 H2O (gypsum)

heating gypsum gives POP and adding water to POP gives gypsum as shown in the reaction above.

POP is Plaster Of Paris.
It's chemical formula is CaSO4.1/2H2O.

It is prepared by heating gypsum at 373 K.
The reaction is as follows:

CaSO4.2H2O ---------> CaSO4.1/2H2O + 3/2H2O.


When POP is left in moist air , then it gains 3/2 molecules of water and hardens again to form gypsum.


When gypsum is heated above 373 K , it forms dead burnt plaster that posses no properties of plaster.



Hope it helped......
