In a pack of CaCl2 and H2O, hydrolysis of Ca+2 will occur

This will result in formation of Ca(OH)2.

The reaction is exothermic in nature

so the balanced thermo-chemical equation will be

CaCl2(aq) + H2O (l) ---> Ca(OH)2 + 2HCl + Heat


In a pack of NH4NO3 and H2O hydrolysis of NH4+ will occur as

NH4NO3 (aq) + H2O(l) + Heat ---> NH4OH(aq) + HNO3 (aq)

It is an endothermic reaction
