Calcium chloride dihydrate is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water. It is used as a desiccant, a fluxing agent, and an additive to agricultural fertilizers. Calcium chloride dihydrate has the ability to exist in three different forms: the monoclinic form (I), the rhombohedral form (II), and the orthorhombic form (III). The polymorphism of calcium chloride dihydrate changes with temperature and pressure. The change in polymorphism can be used to determine how these parameters have changed over time. Laboratory experiments have shown that calcium chloride dihydrate can also exist as an isotopic mixture of two different forms: one with a higher percentage of heavier carbon-13 isotopes and another with a higher percentage of lighter oxygen-18 isotopes. These two isotopic forms are not in equilibrium due to disequilibrium between them.
