Calcium Chloride in a 100 g bottle for laboratory use.
Perform a wide range of chemistry experiments with our calcium chloride, supplied for dependable laboratory and educational use. This highly soluble ionic compound is commonly used in thermochemistry experiments, solution preparation, drying applications, and studies of exothermic dissolution. Calcium chloride is also valuable for demonstrating hygroscopic behavior, as it readily absorbs moisture from the air. The 100 g bottle provides an ample quantity for repeated classroom activities and extended laboratory investigations.

Did You Know?
Calcium chloride releases a noticeable amount of heat when it dissolves in water, making it a favorite for demonstrating exothermic processes in chemistry classrooms. This same property is why it is used in commercial de-icing products and moisture control systems. In the laboratory, its strong attraction to water allows students to observe how some substances actively interact with their environment rather than remaining chemically “passive.”
