A very adaptable inorganic salt, calcium chloride (CaCl₂) is well-known for its many uses and reactivity. Its chemical reactivity with water, acids, and bases makes it extremely helpful for everything from de-icing roadways to industrial processes.
Let us examine the reaction of CaCl₂ and the reasons SNDB is the go-to provider in India.
Reaction with Water (H₂O)
Type: Exothermic Dissolution
Heat occurs when calcium chloride dissolves easily in water. De-icing solutions and quick heat packs both make use of this exothermic characteristic.
Equation:
CaCl2(s)+H2O→Ca2++2Cl−+Heat
Use Case: Moisture absorption, heating pads, humidity control.
Reaction with Acids
Being a neutral salt, CaCl₂ does not react much with strong acids like HCl. It does not create any new compounds; it just makes the solution’s ionic strength stronger.
Equation:
CaCl₂ + HCl → No Significant reaction
Use Case: Perfect for chemical processes, stable in acidic settings.
Reaction with Bases (e.g., NaOH)
CaCl₂ reacts with bases such as sodium hydroxide to produce sodium chloride and calcium hydroxide, a white precipitate.
Equation:
CaCl₂ + 2NaOH → Ca(OH)₂↓ + 2NaCl
Use Case: Useful for precipitation processes, chemical synthesis, and wastewater treatment.
