Why Anhydrous calcium chloride turns into a colourless solution when exposed to air?

Solution

Calcium chloride is deliquescent.
If exposed to air, it will absorb sufficient water from the air to allow it to dissolve. After a short while, instead of a white lump, you will have a pool of clear liquid.
