A.
(CaSO4)2H2O
(a) (CaSO4)2H2O is plaster of Paris. Since, on adding water, it sets into a hard mass due to the formation of gypsum, it is used for plastering the broken bones.
(b) MgSO4·7H2O (epsom salt) shows deliquescence and efflorescence and used as a purgative in medicine.
(c) FeSO4·7H2O (green vitriol) is used for the preparation of Mohr's salt and in the ring test for nitrate ions.
(d) CuSO4·5H2O (blue vitriol) is used for electroplating and electrorefining of copper and for malting Bordeaux mixture, an excellent fungicide.
