Burning

Boojho’s sist...

Question

Boojho’s sister broke a white dove, a symbol of peace, made of Plaster of Paris (POP). Boojho tried to reconstruct the toy by making a powder of the broken pieces and then making a paste by mixing water. Will he be successful in his effort? Justify your answer.

Solution

No, Boojho will not be successful because:

Making a toy from Plaster of Paris (POP) is an irreversible change.

So, after breaking the toy the original properties cannot be regained.

Even after making a paste out of the broken pieces, the toy cannot be reconstructed.

Hence, Boojho will not be able to reconstruct the toy.
