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 . One particular hydrate is better known as plaster of Paris , and another occurs naturally as the mineral gypsum .
Calcium bisulfite (calcium bisulphite or calcium hydrogen sulfite) is an inorganic compound which is the salt of a calcium cation and a bisulfite anion. It may be prepared by treating lime with an excess of sulfur dioxide and water.
The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
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] All forms are white solids. It is most notable as the product of flue-gas desulfurization.
Tricalcium phosphate has three recognised polymorphs, the rhombohedral β form (shown above), and two high temperature forms, monoclinic α and hexagonal α′. β-Tricalcium phosphate has a crystallographic density of 3.066 g cm −3 while the high temperature forms are less dense, α-tricalcium phosphate has a density of 2.866 g cm −3 and ...
Calcium sulfide is the chemical compound with the formula Ca S. This white material crystallizes in cubes like rock salt. This white material crystallizes in cubes like rock salt. CaS has been studied as a component in a process that would recycle gypsum , a product of flue-gas desulfurization .
The structures of CaP and sodium peroxide (Na 2 O 2) are very similar. [1] The solid is described as a salt: (Ca 2+) 2 P 2 4−, or Ca 2 P 2. Since the bonding is ionic, the diphosphide centers carry negative charge and are easily protonated. Upon hydrolysis this material releases diphosphine (P 2 H 4): [2] Ca 2 P 2 + 4 H 2 O → 2 Ca(OH) 2 + P ...
The name anhydrite was given by A. G. Werner in 1804, because of the absence of water of crystallization, as contrasted with the presence of water in gypsum. Some obsolete names for the species are muriacite and karstenite; the former, an earlier name, being given under the impression that the substance was a chloride (muriate).
