Calcium Chloride
Other names: Calcium chloride, Calcium chloride
Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)
Calcium chloride, also known as Calcium Chloride or Calcium Chloride, is an inorganic compound that has hygroscopic properties. It is relatively rare in natural environments, for example in natural salt lakes or places with high salt content. Its chemical formula is CaCl2, indicating that one molecule of this substance consists of one calcium atom and two chlorine atoms. Calvin chloride is a white, crystalline substance that dissolves very easily in water. As it dissolves, heat is released and therefore it is an exothermic reaction.
Calcium chloride is widely used in many industries due to its unique chemical and physical properties. It is most commonly used as a drying agent as it is able to bind water very effectively. This property is particularly applicable in the food industry, where it is added to certain types of food to improve their shelf life and preserve their texture. Furthermore, calcium chloride is also used as a melting agent for ice and snow on roads as it can lower the freezing point of water. In medicine, it is used in acute conditions of hypocalcemia, i.e. low blood calcium levels, or in allergic reactions. In construction, it is used for its ability to accelerate the hardening of concrete. In addition, it is included in many types of fertiliser to accelerate plant growth and to improve nutrient absorption.
