Calcium chloride is strongly hygroscopic (absorbs water from its surroundings), so it removes moisture from the air, making it dryer. This results in water in the substance to be dried to evaporate into the drier air, and this cycle repeats until the system reaches an equilibrium. Anhydrous calcium chloride is an inorganic salt that easily forms hydrates which promotes its use for removing water from any organic solution.
