Anhydrous calcium chloride(CaCl2) is an ionic compound of calcium and chlorine. Salt water is an electrolyte which conducts ions, speeding up rusting. No rust. Calcium chloride dries out the air. Salt solution acts as an electrolyte (any substance containing free ions that allows the substance to conduct electricity) allowing iron to lose electrons more easily and so speeds up the rusting process.
