The apparent molar volumes, V φ , of two series of homologous aliphatic carboxylic acids, H(CH 2 ) n COOH [n = 0-5] and (CH 2 ) n (COOH) 2 [n = 0-5], were determined in dilute aqueous solutions by density measurements at T = 298.15 K. Densities were measured using a vibrating-tube densimeter (DMA 5000, Anton Paar, Austria) at T = 298.15 K. These results were used to calculate the apparent molar volumes of each solute over the concentration range 0.
