Gypsum is a mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate. An evaporite mineral, it forms upon evaporation of surface waters which leaves a more and more saturated solution of the dissolved mineral. For the crystallization process to occur, this usually means that an oversaturated body of water must have less inflow than outflow through evaporation as would be the case with a trapped basin in an arid region.
the luster for gypsum is Vitreous to pearly
No. Gypsum is a calcium sulfate dihydrate.
== == Gypsum is a rock and a mineral.
Gypsum.
No. Gypsum does not fizz in HCl as it is a sulfate, not a carbonate.
geochemistry is the study of earth and other planets
The study of chemistry of the elements of earth is called geochemistry. Geochemistry is studied by very less people.
geochemistry is the study of the chemical structure of the earth
geochemistry is stupid and so is the person who wrote the question
