Calcium chloride is a highly soluble calcium salt. Hexahydrate calcium chloride (CaCl 2 ·6H 2 O) has solubility in water of 811 g/L at 25 °C. [1] Calcium chloride when taken orally completely dissociates into calcium ions (Ca 2+) in the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in readily bioavailable calcium. The high concentration of calcium ions ...
That is, in grams, the atomic weight of the element divided by the usual valence. [2] For example, the equivalent weight of oxygen is 16.0/2 = 8.0 grams. For acid–base reactions, the equivalent weight of an acid or base is the mass which supplies or reacts with one mole of hydrogen cations (H +).

Molecular weight (M.W.) (for molecular compounds) and formula weight (F.W.) (for non-molecular compounds), are older terms for what is now more correctly called the relative molar mass (M r). [8] This is a dimensionless quantity (i.e., a pure number, without units) equal to the molar mass divided by the molar mass constant .
The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
The notation "hydrated compound⋅n H 2 O", where n is the number of water molecules per formula unit of the salt, is commonly used to show that a salt is hydrated. The n is usually a low integer, though it is possible for fractional values to occur. For example, in a monohydrate n = 1, and in a hexahydrate n = 6.
In some cases, the majority of the weight of a compound arises from water. Glauber's salt, Na 2 SO 4 (H 2 O) 10, is a white crystalline solid with greater than 50% water by weight. Consider the case of nickel(II) chloride hexahydrate. This species has the formula NiCl 2 (H 2 O) 6.
The metal is often prepared by electrolysis of a molten mixture of samarium(III) chloride with sodium chloride or calcium chloride. Samarium can also be obtained by reducing its oxide with lanthanum. The product is then distilled to separate samarium (boiling point 1794 °C) and lanthanum (b.p. 3464 °C). [79]
