AI Thread Summary
When heating CaCl2*2H2O above 175°C, the water primarily evaporates, resulting in an anhydrous salt. At temperatures significantly below 175°C, water vaporizes, leaving behind a powdery anhydrous form. Near or above 175°C, the calcium chloride melts, causing water to bubble away and leaving a chunky solid. The process involves both vaporization and potential melting of the salt. Ultimately, the outcome is the formation of anhydrous calcium chloride.

What physically happens to the water when you heat CaCl2*2H2O above it's decomposition temperature 175 deg C? Does the water just vaporize? Or does it partially dissolve some of the calcium chloride in an aqueous solution and then boil away?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The water evaporates and one then has an anhydrous salt.
 
If the temperature used to heat the salt is substantially below 175C, the water leaves as a vapor leaving a solid powdery anhydride. If the temperature is near or above 175C, the calcium chloride melts and the water bubbles away leaving a mass of chunky calcium chloride solid.
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
