    Maple syrup will have the higher temperature.

    Explanation:

    Adding CaCl₂ to water and maple syrup will rise the temperature of both of them. Knowing that:

    Specific heat of maple syrup = 2.01 J/g.°C.

    Specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g.°C.

    Which means that the energy needed to rise the temperature by 1.0 °C of 1.0 g of water (4.18 J) is twice as that needed to rise the temperature by 1.0 °C of 1.0 g of water (2.01 J). So, the temperature of maple syrup will be higher than that of water when CaCl₂ is added to both of them.
