Calcium chloride absorb very easy water (it is used as drying agent) and become a solution.
This property is called deliquescence.

What happens when anhydrous calcium chloride is exposure to air?

Anhydrous calcium chloride will absorb moisture from the air, forming a hydrated form of calcium chloride. This process is known as hygroscopicity. It will eventually dissolve in the absorbed water to form a solution.


When anhydrous calcium chloride is kept in open air it forms an aqueous solution why?

Anhydrous calcium chloride readily absorbs water vapor from the air due to its hygroscopic nature. This absorption of water leads to the dissolution of the calcium chloride in the absorbed water, forming an aqueous solution.


What happens when anhydrous calcium chloride is exposed to the atmosphere for about 2 days?

Anhydrous calcium chloride is a hygroscopic compound, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. When exposed to air for an extended period, it will pull in water vapor and dissolve, forming a solution of calcium chloride and water. This process is exothermic, generating heat as it occurs.


Is Anhydrous Ammonia lighter than air?

Anhydrous ammonia is lighter than air, with a specific gravity of 0.597 compared to air. This means that it will tend to rise and disperse in the air if accidentally released.


Why does anhydrous calcium chloride turn wet on exposure to air?

That is because it is hygroscopic in nature and it absorbs moisture from air. If exposed to open air, it tends to become liquid. That is why, it is often called as deliquescent substance (deliquescent substances are substances which absorbs an excessive amount of water from its surroundings/ atmosphere that it forms a liquid.)
