(D) | (S) Formed by heating gypsum at |
| (T) The colour of compound is white. |
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
(A) CaO matches (P) and (T) because it is produced by the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate and is a white solid.
(B) Ca(OH)₂ matches (Q) and (T) because it is formed by reacting quicklime (CaO) with water and is white in color.
(C) CaSO₄ ⋅ 2H₂O (Gypsum) matches (R) and (T) as it can be precipitated from soluble calcium salts and is white.
(D) CaSO₄ ⋅ ½H₂O (Plaster of Paris) matches (S) and (T) because it is obtained by heating gypsum at and is a white powder.
