Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The formula of gypsum is CaSO4 ⋅ 2H2O and that of plaster of Paris is (CaSO4)2 ⋅ 2H2O, so the percentage of Ca in plaster of Paris is more than gypsum.

Q. Identify the correct statement.

Gypsum is obtained by heating plaster of Paris

Plaster of Paris can be obtained by hydration of gypsum

Plaster of Paris is obtained by partial oxidation of gypsum

Gypsum contains a lower percentage of calcium than plaster of Paris

The formula of gypsum is $C a S O_{4} \cdot 2 H_{2} O$ and that of plaster of Paris is $(C a S O_{4}) 2 \cdot 2 H_{2} O$ , so the percentage of Ca in plaster of Paris is more than gypsum.
