Answer:

It is not possible to have half molecule of water. The formula CaSO₄.1/2 H₂O means that two formula units of CaSO₄ shares one molecule of water , in such a way that the effective water of crystallisation of one particular unit of calcium sulphate comes to 1/2 molecule of water

The chemical name of plaster of Paris is calcium sulphate hemihydrate because half molecule of water is attached with calcium sulphate. The chemical formula of plaster of Paris is CaSO4. 2/1 H2O .
