Abstract
The dependence of proton conductivity of 2-sulfobenzoic acid trihydrate on the environmental humidity and temperature is studied. It is shown that trihydrate remains solid when exposed to atmosphere with humidity of up to 65 rel. %. The comparison of 2-sulfobenzoic acid trihydrate with bezoic acid shows that the absence of sulfo group in the benzene ring sharply lowers down the hydrophilic properties of the compound and, correspondingly, its hydration and conductivity.
