Deliquescence refers to the characteristic of exhibiting a water vapor pressure lesser than the surrounding air. This signifies that a deliquescent is used to absorb water. The calcium chloride is utilized as a desiccant as it is hygroscopic in nature and easily absorbs moisture from the surrounding areas and keeps the system dry.  

CaCl2 + 2 H2O →Ca(OH)2 + 2HCl
