Comparison of Raman spectra of aqueous sulfuric acid at room temperature and in the glassy state indicates that ionization of sulfuric acid proceeds almost completely at low temperatures. On the other hand, ionization of aqueous KOH solution decreases at low temperatures. It is inferred from these results that Lewis basicity of water increases with lowering temperature.
