“…The analysis of data makes possible to allocate hydroxides of metalloids as a specific class of compounds (representatives of this class are B(OH) 3 , Si(OH) 4 , As(OH) 3 , Sb(OH) 3 , Ge(OH) 4 , etc). Precise V 1 2 data are measured for B(OH) 3 (Ellis and McFadden, 1972;Ward and Millero, 1974;Hnědkovský et al, 1995;Ganopolsky et al, 1996;Abdulagatov and Azizov, 2004) and for As(OH) 3 (Anderson and Story, 1923;Bjellerup et al, 1957;Perfetti et al, 2008). For Si(OH) 4 the partial molar volumes were estimated from the equation (Manning, 1994) describing solubility of quartz in water.…”
