Calcium(I) chloride (CaCl) is a diatomic molecule observed in certain gases. [1] A solid with the composition CaCl was reported in 1953; [2] however, later efforts to reproduce this work failed. [3] Molecules of CaCl have been observed in the atmospheres of carbon stars. [4]
Calcium chloride was apparently discovered in the 15th century but wasn't studied properly until the 18th century. [11] It was historically called "fixed sal ammoniac" (Latin: sal ammoniacum fixum [12]) because it was synthesized during the distillation of ammonium chloride with lime and was nonvolatile (while the former appeared to sublime); in more modern times (18th-19th cc.) it was called ...
A chloridometer is a measuring instrument used to determine the concentration of chloride ions (Cl –) in a solution.It uses a process known as coulometric titration or amperostatic coulometry, the accepted electrochemistry reference method to determine the concentration of chloride in biological fluids, including blood serum, blood plasma, urine, sweat, and cerebrospinal fluid.
An assay is a type of biological titration used to determine the concentration of a virus or bacterium. Serial dilutions are performed on a sample in a fixed ratio (such as 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, etc.) until the last dilution does not give a positive test for the presence of the virus.
Calcium hypochlorite is commonly used to sanitize public swimming pools and disinfect drinking water. Generally the commercial substances are sold with a purity of 65% to 73% with other chemicals present, such as calcium chloride and calcium carbonate, resulting from the manufacturing process.
Calcium imaging is a microscopy technique to optically measure the calcium (Ca 2+) status of an isolated cell, tissue or medium.Calcium imaging takes advantage of calcium indicators, fluorescent molecules that respond to the binding of Ca 2+ ions by fluorescence properties.
A standard ampule of 10% calcium chloride is 10 mL and contains 6.8 mmol of calcium. A standard ampule of 10% calcium gluconate is also 10 mL but has only 2.26 mmol of calcium. Clinical practice guidelines recommend giving 6.8 mmol for typical EKG findings of hyperkalemia. [13]
When concentrated solutions of calcium chlorate and potassium chloride are combined, potassium chlorate precipitates: [1] [2]. Ca(ClO 3) 2 + 2 KCl → 2 KClO 3 + CaCl 2. This is the second step of the Liebig process for the manufacture of potassium chlorate.
