Calcium Chloride 

Calcium chloride, or CaCl₂, is an extremely adaptable inorganic substance that finds extensive use in industrial, residential, and commercial applications. Construction, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and de-icing solutions are just a few of the industries that depend heavily on this substance, which is popular for its hygroscopic character, high solubility, and numerous chemical properties. As the largest manufacturer of CaCl₂ in India, SNDB guarantees superior output to satisfy a range of industrial needs.

Structure of Calcium Chloride (CaCl₂)

One calcium (Ca²⁺) ion and two chloride (Cl⁻) ions combine to produce the stable crystalline structure of CaCl₂, an ionic compound. It comes in several hydrated forms, as CaCl₂·2H₂O and CaCl₂·6H₂O, depending on how much water it contains.

• Chemical Formula: CaCl₂
• Molecular Weight: 110.98 g/mol (anhydrous)

Properties of Calcium Chloride

Physical Properties:

• Appearance: White crystalline solid
• Solubility: Highly soluble in water
• Hygroscopic Nature: Absorbs atmospheric moisture
• Melting Point: 772°C (anhydrous form)
• Boiling Point: 1,935°C
• Density: 2.15 g/cm³ (anhydrous)

Chemical Properties:

1) It is beneficial in applications involving the production of heat because it reacts exothermically with water.

2) Gives rise to stable hydrates like CaCl₂·2H₂O and CaCl₂·6H₂O.

3) Functions in aqueous solutions as a strong electrolyte.

4) It is beneficial in a variety of industries due to its compatibility with a broad range of chemicals.

Uses of Calcium Chloride

1) It is used in deicing because it prevents ice from forming.

2) Employed in the manufacturing of activated charcoal.

3) Utilized as a male animal sterilant.

4) It serves in self-heating cans and heating pads.

5) It is used in beer production to make up for mineral deficiencies.

6) In sports drinks, CaCl₂ serves as an electrolyte.

7) The drying tubes in labs are usually full of calcium chloride.
