AI Thread Summary
The enthalpy (H) of liquid water is greater than that of the same quantity of ice at the same temperature when both are at thermodynamic equilibrium. However, this relationship does not hold in cases of supercooled water, where the enthalpy can differ.

Yes, if they both are at thermodynamic equilibrium. If they are not, for example in the case of supercooled water, that's not necessarily true.

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...
