What is the use of anhydrous calcium chloride in the experiment of rusting of metals?

Calcium chloride is a water absorbant.


Will iron rust if its with calcium chloride?

The iron would not rust, because calcium chloride is a desiccant. For rusting to occur there are two vital components: water and oxygen. Since calcium chloride is a desiccant, it would absorb the water, so rusting would not occur.


Why calcium chloride spread on roads during winter season?

When calcium chloride is added to water, it lowers the freezing point. When spread on ice, it has the effect of melting the ice, and turning it to water. Calcium chloride is slightly less corrosive to metals that its "cousin", sodium chloride (salt), and so causes less rusting of cars, bridges, and guard rails.


Why does not an iron nail rust in calcium chloride?

CaCl is extremely hygroscopic (water-attracting), so it will take up any moisture and keep the iron nail dry. Two conditions for rusting are oxygen and water.


Can potassium chloride solution slow down rusting?

No, since KCl is an electrolyte a solution of it would most likely speed up rusting.

it is caused by a chemical reaction with the metal and the substance. There are many experiments you can do to prove this


How do you solve foot hand break getting stuck?

If it doesn't release, a common cause is the mechanism at the back wheel rusting up. It sometimes needs a proper de-rusting and cleaning.
