Comment on “Volumetric properties of aqueous solution of lithium tetraborate from 283.15 to 363.15 K at 101.325 kPa” [J. Chem. Thermodyn. 120 (2018) 151-156] and its Corrigendum [J. Chem. Thermodyn. 123 (2018) 195-197]

Inconsistencies in the apparent molar volume values for aqueous lithium tetraborate solutions reported by Guo and co-workers are exacerbated in the Corrigendum by Cao and co-workers. At 363 K the discrepancies relative to the corrected values in this work exceed 20 cm3 mol−1 and 100 cm3 mol−1 near 0.01 mol kg−1 for Guo et al. and Cao et al., respectively.
