Gypsum has negligible shrinkage.

4. Keene’s cement is made from

a) Slag.
b) Gypsum.
c) Lime.
d) Puzzolana.

View Answer

b) Gypsum.

Keene’s cement is made from Gypsum.

5. Mack’s cement is made from

a) Slag.
b) Gypsum.
c) Lime.
d) Puzzolana.

View Answer

b) Gypsum.

Mack’s cement is made from Gypsum.

6. The number of water molecules present in gypsum is

a) 1/2
b) 1
c) 2
d) 3

View Answer

c) 2.

Gypsum – CaSO4. 2 H2O

Hence, the number of water molecules present in gypsum is 2.

7. The number of water molecules present in palaster of paris is

a) 1/2
b) 1
c) 2
d) None of these

View Answer

a) 1/2.

Palaster of Paris – CaSO4. 0.5 H2O.

Hence, the number of water molecules present in palaster of paris is 1/2 or 0.5.

8. The difference in number of water molecules in gypsum and plaster of paris is

a) 1/2
b) 1/3
c) 2/3
d) 3/4

View Answer

c) 2/3.

Gypsum – CaSO4. 2 H2O. [ Number of water molecules is = 2]

Plaster of Paris – CaSO4. 0.5 H2O. [ Number of water molecules is = 0.5 0r 1/2]

So, the difference in number of water molecules in Gypsum and Plaster of Paris is = (2 – 1/2 ) = 1.5 0r 2/3.

9. The setting time of plaster of paris is delayed by adding retardant

a) Clay.
b) Glue.
