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 ...
Calcium hydroxide has a high enough pH to turn the phenolphthalein a vivid purplish-pink color, thus indicating the presence of water. Chemical pulping: Calcium oxide is used to make calcium hydroxide, which is used to regenerate sodium hydroxide from sodium carbonate in the chemical recovery at kraft pulp mills.
A 0.5 McFarland standard is prepared by mixing 0.05 mL of 1.175% barium chloride dihydrate (BaCl 2 •2H 2 O), with 9.95 mL of 1% sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4). [ 1 ] Now there are McFarland standards prepared from suspensions of latex particles, which lengthens the shelf life and stability of the suspensions.

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.
Dicalcium phosphate is the calcium phosphate with the formula CaHPO 4 and its dihydrate. The "di" prefix in the common name arises because the formation of the HPO 4 2– anion involves the removal of two protons from phosphoric acid, H 3 PO 4. It is also known as dibasic calcium phosphate or calcium monohydrogen phosphate.
Calcium dihydrogen phosphate is used in the food industry as a leavening agent, i.e., to cause baked goods to rise. Because it is acidic, when combined with an alkali carbonate ingredient, commonly sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) or potassium bicarbonate, it reacts to produce carbon dioxide and a salt. Outward pressure of the carbon dioxide ...
Calcium chloride treatment is generally used for the transformation of E. coli and other bacteria. [11] It enhances plasmid DNA incorporation by the bacterial cell, promoting genetic transformation. Plasmid DNA can attach to LPS by being added to the cell solution together with CaCl 2. [12]
