A thick coating of a paste of Plaster of Paris (POP) is applied over the bandage on a fractured bone. It becomes hard on drying to keep the fractured bone immobilised. Can the change in POP be reversed?


Answer :

(1) No, this change cannot be reversed because getting it back is an irreversible change or a chemical change.

(2) The plaster of Paris on getting mixed with water changes into a hard mass and form a new compound.
