What is the difference between anhydrous and fused calcium chloride?

∙ 11y ago
In theory no difference- both are CaCl2. However in practise fused is sold with a higher moisture content (usually). Fused CaCl2 is just the hydrate heated up to expel water - this gives the "anhydrous" form. in practise as this so deliquiscent- it takes up moisture readily. So if you analyse it you invariably find water!

What is the formula of anhydrous calcium chloride?
CaCl2
What is the use of anhydrous calcium chloride in the experiment of rusting of metals?
Calcium chloride is a water absorbant.
Why is anhydrous calcium chloride used in desiccators?
It's cheap and it works.
What substance can be use to dry hydrogen gas?
Anhydrous calcium chloride
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 does the difference between the few crystals of anhydrous calcium chloride and a few crystals of Glauber's salt when are exposed to the atmosphere?
Calcium chloride easily absorb water, it is hygroscopic.
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 formula of anhydrous calcium chloride?
CaCl2
What is the use of anhydrous calcium chloride in the experiment of rusting of metals?
Calcium chloride is a water absorbant.
Why does a nail not go rusty if its in anhydrous calcium chloride?
The nail would not go rusty because it was kept dry and the anhydrous calcium chloride removed the moisture from the air
What are formulas for calcium chloride and patassium phosphate?
Calcium chloride has the formula CaCl2 if anhydrous. Potassium phosphate has the formula K3PO4.
How do you make anhydrous calcium chloride from calcium oxide?
2NH4Cl + CaO --> 2NH3 + CaCl2 + H2O
What substance can be use to dry hydrogen gas?
Anhydrous calcium chloride

What is the function of the anhydrous calcium chloride?
To dry hydrogen gas.
How much anhydrous ammonia will 1 kg of calcium chloride adsorb?
the adsorption capacity of calcium is 0.78 kg/ kg of calcium chloride from one article on adsorption cycle
