Abstract
Experiments designed to characterize tetrahydrofuran as a solvent for chemical reactions, particularly those involving proton transfer, are described. Difficulties encountered in the quantitative interpretation of experimental results, caused by the low relative permittivity and compounded by the aprotic nature of this solvent, are discussed. Ionization and dissociation constants of perchloric, trifluoromethanesulfonic, and picric acids were determined by a combination of spectrophotometry of an added indicator, conductometry, and potentiometry at the glass electrode
