AI Thread Summary
To compare the amounts of calcium carbonate in two different shells, a suggested experiment involves using an acid to react with the carbonate. The reaction produces salt, water, and carbon dioxide, which can be measured to determine the calcium carbonate content. Participants in the discussion noted the importance of conducting the experiment in a controlled environment and suggested seeking additional resources in the chemistry section of the forum for more detailed guidance. There was also a mention of previous responses to similar questions, indicating that the topic had been addressed before.

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...
