Abstract

Thermal potentials of strong acids in solution have been studied following ionization and oxonium formation route. The LH values measured at various dilutions were found to be proportional to the molecular properties of the acids involved. Hypothesis was propounded which interpretation formed the basis of mathematical model. The model has been applied successfully to determine the relative molecular mass of the strong acids in solution.
