SUMMARY

The calcium content percentage in anhydrous calcium chloride (CaCl2) is not explicitly documented, but can be calculated using molar masses. The discussion highlights that the calcium content can be derived from the formula 40/(40+2*35.5)*100%. Additionally, the conversation explores the use of non-polar solvents, such as vegetable oil, for suspending ionic compounds, noting that polar and non-polar solvents do not mix effectively. The inquiry into using vegetable oil in a solar boiler context raises questions about the feasibility of such applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of molar mass calculations
  • Knowledge of ionic compounds and their solubility
  • Familiarity with polar and non-polar solvents
  • Basic principles of solar boiler operation
NEXT STEPS
  • Research molar mass calculations for various compounds
  • Study the solubility principles of ionic compounds in different solvents
  • Explore the properties and applications of polar vs. non-polar solvents
  • Investigate the design and efficiency of solar boilers
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry enthusiasts, engineers in electronics and robotics, and individuals interested in solar energy applications will benefit from this discussion.

Hi All,

Does anyone know the Calcium Content Percentage% in Calcium Chloride Anhydrous?
I have tried google searching with no results.

Thanks :)

None, the best I could get was for CaCl2.2H2O :frown:
 
Don't get me wrong, not trying to be a smartass here, but it is so trivial to calculate from molar masses I am not surprised it is not listed as something special. It is a bit like saying "googled, but couldn't find information about how much is 40/(40+2*35.5)*100%" :wink:

Other than water, does exist any non water fluid i could use as solvent for it?
I would like to use some sort of vegetable oil since it doesn't mix with Water but to make it able to hold small droplets of it in suspension, then to vaporize them in the solar boiler outside..

it could be biodiesel, vegetable bases hydraulic fluid, i don't know..

I'm asking this because i'm not a chemistrian, i'm involved non professionaly with computers , electronics, robotics, etc etc.
 
In general, ionic compounds readily dissolve in polar solvents, the more polar the better.
Water is a polar solvent, vegetable oil is not polar.

Polar and non-polar solvents don't mix well either.

Why would you want to add something to a solvent then vaporize it (solvent or solute) in a solar boiler?
