1.	Because it is cheap (a byproduct of the Solvay process) and deliquescent, anhydrous `CaCI_(2)` is often used to dry gases and organic liquids. However, it cannot be used to dry ammonia and ethanol since it forms complexes having the respective formulasA. `CaCI_(2).8NH_(3) and CaCI_(2).4C_(2)H_(5)OH`B. `CaCI_(2).4NH_(3) and CaCI_(2).4C_(2)H_(5)OH`C. `CaCI_(2).8NH_(3) and CaCI_(2).8C_(2)H_(5)OH`D. `CaCI_(2).4NH_(3) and CaCI_(2).8C_(2)H_(5)OH`
Answer» Correct Answer - A The additive compound with `C_(2)H_(5)OH` is called alcoholate.
