Calcium sulfateis a white crystalline powder. Gypsum is a mineral, or natural substance, it is a hydrate and calcium sulfate. A 1.000 g sample of gypsum contains 0.791 g of CaSO4. How many moles of CaSO4 are there in this sample? Assuming that the rest of the samples water, how many moles of H2O are there in the sample? Show that the result is consistent with the formula CaSO4 times 2H20
