Calcium in Anhydrous Calcium Chloride

    Calcium
In summary, the conversation discusses the calcium content percentage in calcium chloride anhydrous and the use of non-water solvents for this compound. It is noted that the best way to calculate the percentage is through molar masses, and that vegetable oil is not a suitable solvent for calcium chloride anhydrous. The conversation also touches on the mixing of polar and non-polar solvents and the idea of vaporizing solvents in a solar boiler.

Hi All,

Does anyone know the Calcium Content Percentage% in Calcium Chloride Anhydrous?
I have tried google searching with no results.

Thanks :)

None, the best I could get was for CaCl2.2H2O :frown:

Don't get me wrong, not trying to be a smartass here, but it is so trivial to calculate from molar masses I am not surprised it is not listed as something special. It is a bit like saying "googled, but couldn't find information about how much is 40/(40+2*35.5)*100%" :wink:

Other than water, does exist any non water fluid i could use as solvent for it?
I would like to use some sort of vegetable oil since it doesn't mix with Water but to make it able to hold small droplets of it in suspension, then to vaporize them in the solar boiler outside..

it could be biodiesel, vegetable bases hydraulic fluid, i don't know..

I'm asking this because i'm not a chemistrian, i'm involved non professionaly with computers , electronics, robotics, etc etc.

In general, ionic compounds readily dissolve in polar solvents, the more polar the better.
Water is a polar solvent, vegetable oil is not polar.

Polar and non-polar solvents don't mix well either.

Why would you want to add something to a solvent then vaporize it (solvent or solute) in a solar boiler?
