Exposed to the air it is converted into chalk, and muriate of lime, a salt which absorbs moisture from the air very powerfully. By this conversion it becomes a useful addition to soils; and as it also gives out some chlorine gas, so offensive and destructive to insects, it has been suggested as a useful application to the land at the time of turnip sowing.
