The stoichiometric equilibrium constant, K′ , for the autosolvolysis reaction for the aluminum chloride‐1‐methyl‐3‐ethylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid was investigated as a function of temperature with a chloroaluminate concentration cell and aluminum electrodes. The values obtained at 40°, 50°, and 60°C for logK′ were −16.3±0.1 , −16.1±0.6 , and −15.5±0.2 . The enthalpy change for the autosolvolysis reaction was found to be approximately 80 kJ · mol−1 over this temperature range. A curve fitting method for determining the initial composition of this ionic liquid during a titration is also described.
