What is Calcium sulphate ?

  • A.Blue vitriol
  • B.Epsom salt
  • C.Gypsum salt
  • D.Potash alum

Answer: C

Calcium sulphate dihydrate, \(\mathrm{CaSO_4\cdot 2H_2O}\), is gypsum.

Heating it to about 120 °C drives off most of the water and gives plaster of Paris, \(\mathrm{CaSO_4\cdot\frac{1}{2}H_2O}\). Blue vitriol is copper sulphate and Epsom salt magnesium sulphate.
