By mass, this would be Pallas (2 Pallas), the third most massive object in the Main Belt.

The largest asteroid was Ceres, now considered a "dwarf planet" (the only one inside the orbit of Neptune). That would make Vesta (4 Vesta) and Pallas the largest of the remaining Main Belt asteroids. They are similar in size (diameter 530-565 km) but Vesta is slightly more massive.
Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Hygeia are the four largest objects and contain more than half of the total estimated mass of the Asteroid Belt.

What is the second largest asteroid in the solar system?

Depending on what you view as an asteroid. The second largest non-Dwarf Planet KBO is 2007 OR 10 (this is a fairly newly discovered object and is based on some guesswork) falling just behind Sedna. The second largest non-Dwarf Planet in the main asteroid belt is Vesta which falls only slightly behind Pallas. However, Vesta has more mass.
