Letter from Linus Pauling to Jack Inman. March 28, 1949Pauling notes that in his freshman text, General Chemistry, thiocyanic acid is listed as a weak acid, but it was recently noted that it is a strong acid. He also mentions a letter that he received from Ricardo Ferreira which states that cyanic acid is also a strong acid. Pauling wonders if hydrazoic acid, which he also listed as a weak acid, is also strong, and asks Inman to check the literature on these subjects. View Transcript
