Studies on aqueous alkali metal solutions, especially NaCl solution, have shown that most ions exist in a hydrated form at ambient temperatures and ion pairs dominate at elevated temperatures.The quantum chemical calculations have been performed to investigate the hydration and association in aqueous MgCl2 and CaCl2 solutions.The hydration free energies of cations and formation energies of ion pairs were calculated by software package Gaussian 98 under different conditions.These calculations give the thermodynamic stabilities of hydrated cations and ion pairs and the variation depending on temperature and pressure.By comparing the stabilities of hydrated cation and ion pair, the variation for hydration and association can be determined.The results indicate that the tendencies for hydration and association in MgCl2 and CaCl2 solutions agree with those in alkali metal ion solutions, but there is a different area where ion pairs and hydrated ions coexist and both hydration and association have important influences on the solution.In this area, thermodynamic models for NaCl solution are not applicable and new models must be established for MgCl2 and CaCl2 solutions.

Key words: hydration, association, supercritical, quantum chemistry, aqueous MgCl2 and CaCl2 solutions
