The process of dissolution of calcium chloride is exothermic.

∙ 8y ago
CaCl2, or calcium chloride, is used as a de-icer to clear snow in cold countries because it is highly effective in melting ice and snow. Calcium chloride has a lower freezing point than water, allowing it to remain in a liquid state even in extremely cold temperatures. It is also hygroscopic, meaning it attracts moisture from the air and forms a brine solution that melts snow and ice on contact.
