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.

The nail would not go rusty because it was kept dry and the anhydrous calcium chloride removed the moisture from the air
Calcium chloride has the formula CaCl2 if anhydrous. Potassium phosphate has the formula K3PO4.
2NH4Cl + CaO --> 2NH3 + CaCl2 + H2O

I think it is to remove the extra water in the tert-Butyl chloride (I'm not sure, I'm not familiar with tert-Butyl chloride), or C4H9Cl, to produce "dry" tert-Butyl chloride. But I'm sure anhydrous calcium chloride (CaCl2) is used as a dessicant.
the adsorption capacity of calcium is 0.78 kg/ kg of calcium chloride from one article on adsorption cycle
It all depends on the type of Calcium Chloride you used. Was it anhydrous or dihydrate or else?
CaCl2 , the anhydrous (no water of crystallisation) form. There are various hydrates.
