What is Calcium Chloride?
Calcium Chloride is the salt formed when Calcium and 2 Chlorine molecules combine.
Calcium Chloride Properties
Calcium Chloride exists as a white solid at room temperature. Its melts at 176oC and boils at 1935oC (anhydrous). Anhydrous Calcium Chloride is hygroscopic by nature which means it attracts moisture from the air to form a hydrated compound. Dihydrate Calcium Chloride is 77% Calcium Chloride so is still hygroscopic by nature, however to a lesser extent than anhydrous Calcium Chloride. It dissolves in water well; this process is exothermic and produces heat. When molten, it conducts electricity and when solid does not conduct heat well. The molecular formula for Calcium Chloride Dihydrate is CaCl2.H2O.
Applications for Calcium Chloride
Desiccant - Calcium Chloride is used in drying tubes to remove moisture from the surrounding air. The solid can be added to a solution to extract the water within it.
Marine Aquariums - Calcium Chloride is used to provide a vital source of calcium in marine aquariums. The solid is added and dissolves, increasing the natural calcium levels in the water, essential for mollusks and cnidarians.
De-icing - Calcium Chloride is often used to lower the freezing point of water and prevent icy road conditions. It is more effective at lowering the freezing temperature of water than sodium chloride.
Water Treatment - Calcium Chloride is used to increase the hardness of the water in swimming pools which helps to reduce the ware to the concrete walls.
Concrete - Calcium Chloride can be added to a concrete mix to speed up the setting time.
Brewing Beer - Calcium Chloride is sometimes added to the brewing water to increase hardness and correct mineral deficiencies.
To use this product to raise levels of Calcium in aquariums, follow these steps: 1. Check the current levels of Calcium in your aquarium water. 2. Determine the appropriate amount of Calcium Chloride Dihydrate Flakes to add to the aquarium water based on the desired level of Calcium and the volume of the aquarium. 3. Add the Calcium Chloride Dihydrate Flakes to the aquarium water, stirring gently to ensure even distribution. 4. Recheck the levels of Calcium in the aquarium water after a few hours to ensure that the desired level has been reached. Note: Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines for use to ensure the safety and health of your aquarium inhabitants.
