Basically the purpose of desiccators is storage of samples free from moisture . so Calcium chloride is a hygroscopic (capable of absorbing moisture) ,so we are using this in desiccators. and it is sometimes also called a drying agent.

What chemical reagent in this experiment can be used to distinguish calcium chloride from solid calcium carbonate?
Calcium Chloride is CaCl2-------this is a salt Calcium Carbonate Is CaCo3------this is a base
Why is calcium chloride used in dehumidifier?
Calcium chloride is hygroscopic, meaning that it absorbs water from the air. This is the job of a dehumidifier.
Difference between calcium chloride and fused calcium chloride?
The difference of calcium chloride and fused calcium chloride is the bond acting on their molecules. The fused calcium chloride is fused while the calcium chloride is not fused.
Is calcium in salt?
Sodium chloride doesn't contain calcium. Calcium chloride contain calcium.
Why can not you obtain calcium from calcium chloride?
Calcium can be obtianed from calcium chloride. It requires much energy to do so, but it can.

What are the common uses of each of the chemicals sodium chloride ammonium chloride and calcium chloride?
Ammonium chloride is used in fertilizers, calcium chloride is used in many things such as keeping things dry or hard, and sodium chloride is table salt.
Why is calcium chloride used in dehumidifier?
Calcium chloride is hygroscopic, meaning that it absorbs water from the air. This is the job of a dehumidifier.
What salt would you get if you used calcium hydroxide and HCl?
Calcium chloride
Difference between calcium chloride and fused calcium chloride?
The difference of calcium chloride and fused calcium chloride is the bond acting on their molecules. The fused calcium chloride is fused while the calcium chloride is not fused.
What is the function of dehydrate calcium chloride?
Anhydrous calcium chloride (CaCl2) is extremely hygroscopic, meaning it readily adsorbs water or moisture from the surroundings. Therefore, calcium chloride is commonly used as a dessicant.
What is the correct name of the compound CaCl2x6H2O?
The correct name for the compound CaCl2 6H2O is Calcium Chloride Hexahydrate.
Will calcium chloride react with chloride?
Calcium chloride will not further react with chloride ions.
When calcium and chloride bond to make calcium chloride does calcium become an anion and chloride a cation?
calcium becomes the main ion and chloride the secondary ion
