A solid substance P which is very hard is used in the construction of many buildings, especially flooring. When substance P is heated strongly, it decomposes to form another solid Q and a gas R is given out. Solid Q reacts with water with the release of a lot of heat to form a substance S. When gas R is passed into a clear solution of substance S, then a white precipitate of substance T is formed. The substance T has the same chemical composition as starting substance P.
- What is substance P? Write its common name as well as chemical formula.
- What is substance Q?

- What is substance S? What is its clear solution known as?
- What is substance T? Name any two natural forms in which substance T occurs in nature.
