AI Thread Summary
Cr2Cl3 is not a commonly recognized or documented molecule in the field of inorganic chemistry. While CrCl3 and its derivatives, such as CrCl2 and CrCl4, are well-known compounds, there appears to be no substantial evidence or references supporting the existence of Cr2Cl3. Searches on reputable chemistry databases and resources, including Webelements, do not yield any results for Cr2Cl3, indicating that it may not be a valid or established compound in scientific literature. The discussion highlights the lack of information and consensus regarding Cr2Cl3 among those familiar with chromium compounds.

There's CrCl2, CrCl3, and CrCl4, but no Cr2Cl3 listed, and it's not something which rings a bell in my memory. I'm not an inorganic chemist, though, so my memory on this point may not be the best.
 
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...
