How to mix calcium Chloride in water as an antifreeze

Calcium chloride is a salt and one molecule of it is made up of one atom of calcium and 2 atoms of chloride and with the chemical name CaCl2. It can be mixed with water to serve as an antifreeze much like Sodium Chloride solutions are used but it's advantage over the natural salt is that it is less corrosive. In order to turn it into an acqueous solution, you should mix it with water in a controlled environment.
One thing to note about mixing Calcium Chloride in water is that it causes an exothermic reaction which simply means that it gives off heat as the chemical reaction takes place.

When calcium choride is combined with water, hydrochloric acid and calcium oxide are formed and this comes also with heat loss so you should do it carefully and in a controlled environment, way from dangerous combustibles such as fuels or gases and also ensure physical protection for yourself.

What you will need for this procedure
- A glass or plastic container
- A plastic or glass stirrer

Steps to doing the mixing
- Fill the container halfway with water
- Add the Calcium chloride bit by bit for example one gram at a time
- Stir the salt in the water with the stirrer gently until all it dissolved

Tips:
- Don't add salt too fast or in large quantities
- Don't stir the mixture too fast
- Don't allow your bare hands to touch the solution. It contains acid so use gloves
- Wash your hands and the items used after the procedure
- The more dissolved CaCl2 solutions you have in the water, the more effective it will be as an antifreeze
