Cobalt chloride is mainly used to measure the moisture absorption in de-humidification processes. This solid product is originally blue and turns to pink when it becomes completely saturated with moisture.

∙ 12y agoOrganic compounds are not soluble in water. They can only be dissolved by organic solvents such as hexane.
Hence, in order to make some organic compounds soluble in water, hydrochloric acid can be used. This makes compounds go through reactions to take in the chloride ion. This makes the organic compound more polar by introducing a highly electronegative atom, which in this case is chlorine.
For example, alkenes go through substitution reactions with HCl:
C2H4 + 2 HCl --> C2H4Cl2 + 2 H+
C2H4Cl2, which is 1,2 dichloroethane, is soluble in water. As such, it can be extracted by adding water to the mixture to dissolve it.

Why is calcium chloride used in dessicators?
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.
