Answer:
Plaster of Paris commonly called POP is prepared by heating gypsum at a considerable tempreature.
Explanation:
Plaster of Paris (CasO4.1/2H2O) is created by heating gypsum(CaSO4.2H2O) crystals, a soft mineral made of calcium sulphate dihydrate, to turn them into a dry powder. When it is mixed with water it reforms into a gypsum paste which is used as a building material for wall surfacing and fireproofing, or for creating sculptures and other art works.
