...reality „ > f . Gore, indeed, pointed out that hydrofluoric acid is by many of its properties placed between hydrochloric acid and water, but is much more closely allied to the former than to the latter. Hence, therefore, we thought it would be of interest to trace the process of breaking up of the complex...
