Abstract
IN some experiments in which concentrated solutions of hydrochloric acid were employed it was necessary to consider the part played by associated hydrogen chloride in determining its properties. Examination of data on the activity of hydrogen chloride1 showed that the curve relating mean activity (a) to concentration (c) was continuous throughout, although its slope increased markedly at about 2 N.
