CaCl2 is a hygroscopic substance that, if left open with oxygen, will absorb all the H2O from the atmosphere.
-14.8
Calcium chloride absorb easily water and become a hydrate; after some time, being hygroscopic and deliquescent, solid calcium chloride is transformed into a solution.
CaCl2
Calcium chloride is a water absorbant.
If present in aqueous solution, by precipitating using sulfuric acid and obtaining insoluble calcium sulphate.
It all depends on the type of Calcium Chloride you used. Was it anhydrous or dihydrate or else?
The chemical reaction isȘCaCl2 + Na2CO3 = CaCO3 + 2 NaCl

Calcium chloride absorb easily water and become a hydrate; after some time, being hygroscopic and deliquescent, solid calcium chloride is transformed into a solution.
2NaCO3 + CaCl2 < > Ca(CO3)2 + 2NaCl
CaCl2
Calcium chloride is a water absorbant.
The nail would not go rusty because it was kept dry and the anhydrous calcium chloride removed the moisture from the air
If present in aqueous solution, by precipitating using sulfuric acid and obtaining insoluble calcium sulphate.
Calcium chloride has the formula CaCl2 if anhydrous. Potassium phosphate has the formula K3PO4.
The ions are: Ca2+ and Cl-; the ratio chloride ions/calcium ions is 2.
