Dear Sanju,
● Preparation of Plaster of Paris -
POP is prepared by heating gypsum at 373 K.
2 CaSO4.2H2O + ∆ --> 2 CaSO4.1/2H2O + 3 H2O
● Precautions taken while preparing POP -
1) Use personal protective gear (gloves, dust mask, goggles, shoes) while preparing POP.
2) Don't use hot water for mixing POP as it may explode.
3) Body parts shouldn't be casted with POP.
4) Use POP as soon as it's made, otherwise it turns into solid rapidly.
Thanks for asking...
