Note on “The interpretation of the parameters of the equation used for the extrapolation of apparent molar volumes of the non-electrolyte (solutes) to the infinite dilution” by J. Wawer and J. Krakowiak [J. Mol. Liq. 296 (2019) 111765]

Abstract The authors of the above paper presented recently the alternative ways of the data interpretation that can be used to eliminate the mistakes being typical at extrapolating the apparent molar volume of the solute to infinite dilution. It is about converting the parameters of the “basic” (linear) equation for determining the standard molar volume of a solute into relative those, to gain the better information on the solute–solute interactions. Appreciating efforts of the authors aimed at achieving that objective, a number of important issues that called for discussing and critical rethinking has been raised here.
