What accelerates gypsum materials?

  1. Hydrofluoric acid

  2. Sodium citrate

  3. Potassium sulfate and Sodium chloride

  4. Borax

The correct answer is: Potassium sulfate and Sodium chloride

This is because potassium sulfate and sodium chloride are commonly used as accelerators in gypsum materials, while hydrofluoric acid, sodium citrate, and borax are not commonly used or not effective accelerators for gypsum. In particular, hydrofluoric acid is typically used for etching or dissolving materials, not accelerating them. Sodium citrate is usually used as a buffering agent rather than an accelerator. Borax may be useful in certain specific situations, but it is not as widely used or effective as potassium sulfate and sodium chloride.
