ABSTRACT: A new chemical hypothesis based on the
differential temperature model (DTM) for estimation of molecular masses of some
strong acids (H2SO4, HNO3 and HCl) in solutions have previously been propounded
and tested theoretically and analytically by the author. The results were
published in the Bulletin of Pure and Applied Sciences–Chemistry in 2012. The
changes in temperature following various dilutions of the acids were found to
be proportional to their molecular properties. The new chemical hypothesis and
model is hereby tested on H3PO4 and HBF4 and their exact molecular masses have
been evaluated analytically and theoretically. The validity of the hypothesis
and the model is hereby presented for chemical proof and adoption to theory by
chemists.
