Frequently Asked Questions About Calcium Chloride Dihydrate

1. What is Calcium Chloride Dihydrate?

Calcium Chloride Dihydrate is an inorganic salt composed of calcium chloride with two water molecules incorporated into its crystalline structure. Its formula is CaCl₂·2H₂O, and it is used in laboratory procedures involving calcium and chloride ions.

2. What is the CAS number of Calcium Chloride Dihydrate?

The CAS Registry Number for Calcium Chloride Dihydrate is 10035-04-8. This identifier distinguishes the dihydrate from anhydrous calcium chloride and other forms for chemical inventory, identification, and documentation.

3. Is Calcium Chloride Dihydrate soluble in water?

Yes, Calcium Chloride Dihydrate is readily soluble in water. Dissolving it produces a solution containing calcium and chloride ions. The dissolution process releases heat, so add the material carefully and follow the laboratory procedure when preparing solutions.

4. What is the molecular weight of Calcium Chloride Dihydrate?

The molecular weight of Calcium Chloride Dihydrate is approximately 147.02 g/mol. This value accounts for calcium chloride and the two water molecules represented in its formula, CaCl₂·2H₂O.

5. How should Calcium Chloride Dihydrate be stored?

Store the compound in a tightly closed, clearly labelled container in a dry location. Calcium chloride compounds can absorb moisture from the air, so minimise exposure during handling and follow the supplier’s storage instructions and safety data sheet.

Storage Conditions for Calcium Chloride Dihydrate

Keep Calcium Chloride Dihydrate in a tightly sealed, labelled container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Limit exposure to humid air because calcium chloride is hygroscopic and can absorb moisture. Protect the material from contamination and follow the supplier’s safety data sheet for recommended storage conditions.

Precautions for Handling Calcium Chloride Dihydrate

Wear suitable safety goggles, protective gloves, and a laboratory coat when handling Calcium Chloride Dihydrate. Avoid contact with the eyes and prolonged skin contact, and minimise dust generation. Dissolution in water releases heat, so add the compound carefully according to the laboratory procedure. Wash hands after handling, and consult the safety data sheet for first-aid measures, spill response, and disposal guidance. Keep the container properly labelled and follow established laboratory safety practices.
