Calcium sulfate (or calcium sulphate) is the inorganic compound with the formula CaSO 4 and related hydrates.In the form of γ-anhydrite (the anhydrous form), it is used as a desiccant.
Gypsum is a soft sulfate mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate, with the chemical formula CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O. [4] It is widely mined and is used as a fertilizer and as the main constituent in many forms of plaster, drywall and blackboard or sidewalk chalk.
Anhydrite, or anhydrous calcium sulfate, is a mineral with the chemical formula CaSO 4.It is in the orthorhombic crystal system, with three directions of perfect cleavage parallel to the three planes of symmetry.
The high melting point is also consistent with its description as an ionic solid. In the crystal, each S 2− ion is surrounded by an octahedron of six Ca 2+ ions, and complementarily, each Ca 2+ ion surrounded by six S 2− ions.
The Gmelin rare earths handbook lists 1522 °C and 1550 °C as two melting points given in the literature, the most recent reference [Handbook on the chemistry and physics of rare earths, vol.12 (1989)] is given with 1529 °C.
Melting point: 1,670 °C (3,040 °F; 1,940 K) [1] Solubility in water. Practically insoluble with water: Solubility in Ethanol: Insoluble with ethanol (also acetic acid)
Calcium sulfite, or calcium sulphite, is a chemical compound, the calcium salt of sulfite with the formula CaSO 3 ·x(H 2 O). Two crystalline forms are known, the hemihydrate and the tetrahydrate, respectively CaSO 3 ·½(H 2 O) and CaSO 3 ·4(H 2 O). [2]
