AI Thread Summary
To convert a coefficient of thermal expansion from 7.78E-6 K^-1 to C^-1, it's important to note that the conversion between Kelvin (K) and Celsius (C) is straightforward since a change of 1 K is equivalent to a change of 1 °C. Therefore, the coefficient remains the same in both units, meaning 7.78E-6 K^-1 is also 7.78E-6 C^-1. The confusion arises from the fact that while the temperature scales differ by an offset, the rates of change are identical. Thus, no additional conversion factor is needed for this specific case.

Ok, so I know this shouldn't be so hard. I am trying to convert a Coefficient of thermal expansion from 7.78E-6k^-1 to C^-1. But, I'm not sure what the conversion rate would be in this case. This is an odd conversion because you add to switch between C and K. So I'm not sure how to convert these rates. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. I'm an idiot. I knew it was something simple.
 

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...
