Solution theories (Kirkwood-Buff to RISM and beyond)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking resources for understanding the history of solution theories, particularly in the context of liquids and the physics and thermodynamics governing molecular behavior. A participant clarifies their interest in comprehensive background material on these theories. Another suggests that thermodynamics textbooks often provide references for further reading, encouraging the exploration of these leads for deeper insights.

What's a solution theory?

I think I could have phrased it better.

I am looking to get a comprehensive background in the theories of liquids - the physics and the thermodynamics of how liquid molecules behave.
 
Most thermodynamics textbooks will list sources and further reading suggestions for all subjects discussed - have you tried to follow the leads?
 
I have not, I'll give that an attempt.
 
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...
