Concerete is produced from a mixture of cement , water, sand and small stones. It consists primarily of calcium silicates and calcium aluminates formed by heating and grinding of clay and limestone. In later steps of cement production a small amount of gypsym , CaSO_(4).2H_(2)O is added to improve subsequent hardening of concrete . The use of elevated temperature during the final production may lead to formation of unwanted hemihydrate, CaSO_(4).1//2H_(2)O. Consider the following reaction: CaSO_(4).2H_(2)O(s) rarr CaSO_(4).(1)/(2) H_(2)O(s)+(3)/(2)H_(2)O(g) The following themodynamic data apply at 25^(@)C standard pressure : 1 bar {:("Compound","DeltaH_(f(KJ//mol))^(@),S^(@)(JK^(-1)mol^(-1))),(CaSO_(4).2H_(2)O(s),-2021.0,194.0),(CaSO_(4).(1)/(2)H_(2)O(s),-1575.0,130.5),(H_(2)O(g),-242.8,188.6):} R=8.314 JK^(-1)mol^(-1) DeltaH^(@) for the formation of 1.00 kg of CaSO_(4).(1)/(2) H_(2)O(s) from CaSO_(4).2H_(2)O(s) is
