Solution

The correct option is C Water was formed from the reaction
Weight of U-tube and calcium chloride before..............39.32g
Weight of U-tube and calcium chloride after................57.32g
Since Weight of U-tube and calcium chloride after is higher than the Weight of U-tube and calcium chloride before, we can say that the excess weight is due to water which is formed during the reaction.
Calcium chloride is a drying agent and absorbs water. The increase in the weight corresponds to water formed.
