AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a university panel presentation on the topic "WOW in chemistry." The original poster is uncertain about the meaning of "WOW," speculating whether it refers to surprising discoveries in chemistry, particularly those resulting from accidents, or if it pertains to remarkable chemical experiments. A participant suggests that "WOW" might be an acronym, potentially related to emulsions, referencing AcronymFinder for clarification. The urgency of the situation is emphasized, as the panel discussion is scheduled for three days later, highlighting the need for clear guidance on the topic.

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
