What forms when calcium chloride and water is mixed?

A solution of calcium chloride is formed.


Are there dangerous byproducts from electrolysis on a solution of calcium chloride and water?

Electrolysis of calcium chloride solution release chlorine.


What does a gallon of calcium chloride way?

Calcium chloride is a solid and therefore is not measured by gallons. The weight of a gallon of calcium chloride solution would depend on the concentration of said solution.


What happens when calcium chloride is added to a soap that lathered most?

Dissolved calcium chloride, among other salts, prevents soap from lathering. If you add some to any soap it will stop some of the lathering.


Does sodium chloride form a precipitate with soap solution?

Sodium chloride is needed to precipitate soap from solutions.


Is the neutralization reaction of hydrochloric acid and calcium chloride acid base or neutral?

Calcium chloride solution is neutral.


Why does NaCl help to precipitate the soap?

Sodium chloride is used to precipitate soaps from the solution.


How does soap react with the salts CaCl2 or MgCl2?

An insoluble salt is formed--commonly called soap scum. Soap is the potassium or sodium salt of fatty acids. When calcium takes the place of the sodium or potassium, a calcium salt is formed. This takes the form of a whitish precipitate.


How can you determine the chloride in soap?

If the soap is fully and completely water soluble, its chloride content can be precipitated by adding silver nitrate solution to the soap solution, and the amount of silver chloride solution used until precipitation ceases measures the content of sodium originally in the solution. There are also many other analytical methods available.


Does calcium chloride and water form hydrochloric acid?

No, they simply form a solution of calcium chloride. This is correct, but one should add that the solution heats up because of the exothermic process involved when water causes the calcium chloride crystals to dissolve; the calcium chloride is dissociated into calcium and chloride ions. However, the question is why does the solution test as an acid when phenol red is added? The red solution turns yellow indicating an excess of hydrogen (hydronium) ions. There is no adequate answer that I could find on the Internet.


Why add sodium chloride solution in soap processing?

To precipitate the soap as soap is less soluble in brine
