Understanding gypsum in 3 diagrams

Diagram 1 - Dehydration. The first process is the formation of hemihydrate or anhydrite from dihydrate. To obtain more information about this step, gypsum crystals were grown from sodium sulphate and calcium chloride via a diffusion process. A large test tube, approximately 200mL in volume, was filled with 3g of sodium sulphate (Na 2 SO 4).
