Q=mcΔT

LiCl 10g Test: Q=50.13g(4.186J/g°C)35.1°C Q=7,370J

CaCl2 10g Test: Q=50.09g(4.186J/g°C)29.9°C Q=6,270J

CaCl2 20g Test: Q=60.10g(4.186J/g°C)49.2°C Q=12,400J

CaCl2 40g Test: Q=80.00g(4.186J/g°C)60.9°C Q=20,400J

 Why We chose
Calcium Chloride over
Lithium Chloride
● LiCl heated up faster but also
cooled down faster
● CaCl₂ kept a warm temperature for
the longest time
● 40g of CaCl2 had the highest heat
energy
 Why Does Calcium
Chloride Create Heat?
Bonds that are formed release energy
in the form of heat
 Ca(OH)2 +
CaCl2 + H2 → HCl
