AI Thread Summary
Introducing diphosphate and oxygen at approximately 40 degrees Celsius raises questions about the potential for combustion and the reaction's thermodynamics. The key points of discussion focus on determining the enthalpy of formation to assess whether the reaction is exothermic. To evaluate if the reaction occurs at the specified temperature, the standard Gibbs free energy equation is referenced, which incorporates changes in enthalpy and entropy. However, some participants express confusion about the concepts, particularly those unfamiliar with advanced chemistry topics like the Gibbs equation.

If you were to introduce diphosphate and oxygen to one another at apporx 40 degrees celcius, would they combust instantaneously?

Try to find the enthalphy of formation to see if it is exothermic. To see if this reaction proceeds at the temperature you indicated process this information into the standard Gibbs equation which includes standard change of enthalphy and entropy with the temperature variable as well. Hope this helps.

Sorry, you lost me totally. I'm only 15 years old and haven't had any formal chemistry training, so I've no idea what gibbs equation is at all...
 

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...
