The enthalpy of dilution of CaCl/sub 2/(aq) is obtained to a minimum molality of 1.7 x 10/sup -3/ mol x kg/sup -1/ at temperatures to 673 K from heat and liquid flow microcalorimetry. The measured dilution enthalpies at low concentrations above 573 K are more exothermic than those calculated from the limiting law. Comparison with similar results for NaCl(aq) indicates that extrapolation to infinite dilution based on strong electrolyte models for thermodynamic quantities may lead to significant error at high temperatures.
