decrease Pressure Volume

AI Thread Summary

The relationship between attractive forces and the real volume of gases compared to ideal gases is crucial in understanding gas behavior. Real gases experience intermolecular attractive forces, which affect their pressure and volume. When the real volume of a gas is reduced and attractive forces increase, the pressure typically decreases due to these intermolecular interactions, which counteract the pressure exerted by the gas particles. In contrast, ideal gases are assumed to have negligible volume and no intermolecular forces, leading to different behavior under similar conditions. Understanding these dynamics is essential for accurately predicting the behavior of real gases in various applications.

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...
