Why Is Calcium Chloride Powder Used Extensively As A Bleaching Agent? In simple terms‚ calcium chloride is an inorganic compound having chemical formula CaCl2 (H2O)x where x can be 0‚1‚2‚4 and 6. All the salts produced by calcium chloride powder has a unique characteristic that they are highly soluble in water. This helps in applications where you need to remove snow‚ ice‚ or frost from any surface or even simple dust removal. It can absorb moisture from the surrounding environment‚ which is also

Lithium Carbonate and Bipolar Disorder Lithium is a naturally occurring element that is refined to treat certain psychiatric disorders like bipolar disorder. Lithium is a naturally formed element‚ and can be found in many foods. The element has various forms such as lithium carbonate‚ lithium orotate‚ and lithium aspartate (“The Science and Practice”). The differences in lithium lie within the effects of salt on molecular weight‚ and the percentage of lithium. Lithium carbonate specifically is used
