If I dissolve $\pu{0.1 M}$ of $\ce{CaCl2.2H2O}$ in water, do I get a $\pu{0.1 M}$ $\ce{CaCl2}$ solution? 




First, try to be clear. Nobody can dissolve 0.1 M of anything in water. 0.1 M is not an amount. It is a concentration. I think you should replace "M" by "mole". 


Second, you must mention the amount of water used to dissolve your product, or the final volume. I think you should rewrite your demand in such a way : "If I dissolve 0.1 mole CaCl2·2H2O in enough water to get a final volume of one liter, do I get a 0.1 M CaCl2 solution?" 


And here the answer would be "Yes !"
