Abstract

The chemistry of ionization of strong acids via oxonium route was examined in thermodynamics context. The research led to the establishment of a new chemical hypothesis which derivatives gave rise to a differential temperature model. The thermodynamic model has been applied to detect the number of ionizable protons in one molecule of any strong acid in solution.

 

Keywords: Thermodynamic indicator, protons, strong acids
