thanks for a quick answer.
1. what do you mean, when you say "pH is always seven".
2. when I said "dissociation", I mean that, I didn't use Morse potential for
the bond, so, for examle, COOH group haven't got probability to break the
connectivity with H atom.
3. i haven't got an idea how to calculate H3O+ concentration.

Thanks.
