The chemical formula of Plaster of Paris (POP) is CaSO4.½ H2O.
Gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O) is formed on mixing POP with water as follows:
CaSO4.½ H2O + 1½ H2O → CaSO4.2H2O
Uses of POP:
In hospitals, as plaster for supporting fractured bones in the right position.
For making decorative materials and for making wall surfaces smooth.
As a fire-proofing material.

When Plaster Of Paris is mixed with water it changes to gypsum,which is a hard solid mass.
Here, is the equation for the above reaction.
CaSO₄.1/2H₂O + 1( 1/2 )H₂O ---> CaSO₄.2H₂O
The CaSO₄.2H₂O formed is gypsum.
Gypsum is used to make plaster of Paris.
The Plaster of Paris is useful in following ways -->
1)When mixed with water, the plaster is used for setting fractured bones in right position.
2) It used in project works by students
