Good Morning,
is it possible to get a physical model, I think to electromagnetic fields, to explain the energy developed in exothermic reactions es. for the hydration of sulphuric acid?

thank you

What does this mean? It is very unclear what kind of model you want.

I wonder how one can explain the heat generated from the physical point of view, i.e. in terms of fields and electric potentials of the chemical bonds
 
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...
