Question

What is Plaster of Paris?How it can be interconverted?Write the chemical equation?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Plaster of paris (POP) has chemical formula CaSO4. 1/2 H2O which is produced by heating gypsum having chemical formula CaSO4. ... heating gypsum gives POP and adding water to POP gives gypsum as shown in the reaction above. Plaster of Paris is used for making toys, materials for decoration, and for making smooth surfaces.

Answer 2

Answer:

Question :- what is pOP? How it can be intrrconverted? Chemical equation...

Answer :-

=> When we heat Gypsum at 373 Kelvin, it loses water molecules and becomes "Plaster of Paris ".

=> It's chemical name is " Calcium hemihydrate "

"EQUATION "

=> CaSo4 . 1/2 H2O + 1.1/2 H2O ----> CaSo4. 2H2O

When 1.1/2 of water molecules are added to Plaster of Paris it becomes Gypsum ( Interconverted)
