From Google:
CaCl2 dissolves readily in water, so it won't need any special coaxing to dissolve; be forewarned, however, that it releases heat in the process, so the container will heat up as the compound dissolves. Measure out the amount of calcium chloride you would like to dissolve using the spoon. Add water to the container.
