Mr. Ricardo Carválho Ferreira
Rua Augusta 550
Sao Paulo

Dear Mr. Ferreira
I have been interested to see your letter of November 21, and the statements that you make about an explanation of the acid strengths of the hydrogen halides.
It is true, of course, that hydrogen-bonded complexes with water are formed by these molecules, and that the stability of these complexes plays an important part in helping to determine the degree of ionization of the hydrogen halides. I do not think that a single structural factor, such as the one you discussed, can be given alone as the explanation of the change in acid strength. A complete explanation would require that all of the structural factors that influence the energy of the undissociated molecule in solution and of the ions in solution would have to be taken into consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:W
