Q. The number of water molecules in gypsum, dead burnt plaster and plaster of paris, respectively are:
Solution:
Gypsum
$CaSO _{4} .2 H _{2} O$
Plaster of Paris
$CaSO _{4} .\frac{1}{2} H _{2} O$
Dead burnt plaster
$CaSO _{4}$
Gypsum | $CaSO _{4} .2 H _{2} O$ |
Plaster of Paris | $CaSO _{4} .\frac{1}{2} H _{2} O$ |
Dead burnt plaster | $CaSO _{4}$ |
