The apparent molal volume, V of boric acid, B(OH) 3 and sodium borate, NaB(OH) 4 , have been determined in 35%. salinity seawater and 0·725 molal NaCl solutions at 0 and 25°C from precise density measurements. Similar to the behavior of nonelectrolytes and electrolytes in pure water, the V of B(OH) 3 is a linear function of added molality and the V of NaB(OH) 4 is a linear function of the square root of added molarity in seawater and NaCl solutions. The partial molal volumes, , of B(OH) 3 and NaB(OH) 4 in seawater and NaCl were determined from the V 's by extrapolating to infinite dilution in the medium. The of B(OH) 3 is larger in NaCl and seawater than pure water apparently due to the ability of electrolytes to dehydrate the nonelectrolyte B(OH) 3 . The of NaB(OH) 4 in itself, NaCl and seawater is larger than the expected value at 0·725 molal ionic strength due to ion pair formation [ Na + + B ( OH ) 4 - NaB ( OH ) 4 0 ]. The volume change for the formation of NaB(OH) 4 0 in itself and NaCl was found to be equal to 29·4 ml mol -1 at 25°C and 0·725 molal ionic strength. These large 's indicate that at least one water molecule is released when the ion pair is formed [ Na + + B ( OH ) 4 - H 2 O + NaOB ( OH ) 2 0 ]. The observed in seawater and the (NaB 0 ) in water and NaCl were used to estimate for the formation of MgB + and CaB + . The volume change for the ionization of B(OH) 3 in NaCl and seawater was determined from the molal volume data. Values of were found in seawater and in NaCl, respectively, at 0 and 25°C. The effect of pressure on the ionization of B(OH) 3 in NaCl and seawater at 0 and 25°C determined from the volume change is in excellent agreement with direct measurements in artificial seawater ( and , 1968; Disteche and Disteche, 1967) and natural seawater (Culberson and , 1968).
