Does calcium chloride and water form hydrochloric acid?

No, they simply form a solution of calcium chloride. This is correct, but one should add that the solution heats up because of the exothermic process involved when water causes the calcium chloride crystals to dissolve; the calcium chloride is dissociated into calcium and chloride ions. However, the question is why does the solution test as an acid when phenol red is added? The red solution turns yellow indicating an excess of hydrogen (hydronium) ions. There is no adequate answer that I could find on the Internet.
