WARNING – Mixing Calcium Chloride and water is an exothermic reaction

and it gives off a bit of heat,

it is key that if you are doing this at home you use a glass jar.

If you pour the water into the crystals then be careful to pour

a bit at a time, or it will fizz up.

Wear some form of eye protection just in case.

You can pour the crystals into the water, but it will fizz up as well.

Stir until the crystals are mixed.

You notice that the mix is cloudy for now and still quite warm.

Once the solution has cooled down you can put a lid on and store in the refrigerator.

Use as any other liquid calcium chloride found elsewhere.
