Write the name of the products formed by heating gypsum at 373K? Write

1.	Write the name of the products formed by heating gypsum at 373K? Write one use of it.
Answer» The chemical formula of Gypsum: CaSO₄.2H₂O When gypsum is heated at 373k, we get plaster of Paris Chemical equation: Δ CaSO₄.2H₂O ---------->CaSO₄.1/2H₂O +3/2 H₂O So, Calcium Sulphate Hemi hydrated salt --- CaSO₄.1/2H₂O is produced after heating gypsum. Plaster of paris is used in case of fracture.

Write the name of the products formed by heating gypsum at 373K? Write one use of it.

Answer»

The chemical formula of Gypsum: CaSO₄.2H₂O

When gypsum is heated at 373k, we get plaster of Paris

Chemical equation:
Δ
CaSO₄.2H₂O ---------->CaSO₄.1/2H₂O +3/2 H₂O

So, Calcium Sulphate Hemi hydrated salt --- CaSO₄.1/2H₂O is produced after heating gypsum.

Plaster of paris is used in case of fracture.
