calcium chloride is a type of salt (cacl2)
\[Ca \left( OH \right)_{2}+2HCl \rightarrow CaCl _{2}+H _{2}\]
Calcium chloride, CaCl2, is a salt of calcium and chlorine. It behaves as a typical ionic halide, and is solid at room temperature. Common applications include brine for refrigeration plants, ice and dust control on roads, and desiccation. Because of its hygroscopic nature, anhydrous calcium chloride must be kept in tightly sealed, air-tight containers.
