Hey Friend,
Anhydrous calcium chloride is Hygroscopic in nature.
Hygroscopic substances are those substances which absorb or adsorb water.
These substances do not change their state, only attract the water molecules from the surroundings! Therefore, hygroscopic substances are kept in air tight containers.
So, if anhydrous calcium chloride is exposed to the atmosphere for abut two days...there will be change in volume of the substance but the physical state won't change.
Hope it helps!
