Abstract
The second dissociation constant of sulfuric acid is determined in 1M NaClO4 at 25°C using an electrochemical cell without liquid junction consisting of a glass and a perchlorate electrode. By taking into account the association between the Na+ and SO 2−4 ions an average value of 0.0184±0.0005 is found using three different methods. This corresponds with an apparent acidity constant KA *2 of 0.095±0.003
