%X Chemical properties of seawater are studied at forced shifting of Fermi level ¦ÅF in the band gap of liquid water due to deviation of its composition H2O1−z ( | z£ü< 10−13 ) from the stoichiometric one ( z = 0 ). It is shown that the hypo-stoichiometric state ( z > 0 ) of seawater emerges when Fermi level is shifted to the local electron level ¦Å<sub>H3O</sub> of hydroxonium H3O+ in galvanic cell with the strongly polarized anode and the quasi-equilibrium cathode. Then, each ¦Å<sub>H3O</sub> is occupied by electron and hydroxonium radicals [H3O] together with hydroxide anions [OH−] form in seawater hydrated electrons [(H2O)2−] . The opposite hyper-stoichiometric state ( z < 0 ) of seawater is gotten in galvanic cell with the strongly polarized cathode and the quasi-equilibrium anode. Then, Fermi level is shifted to the local energy level ¦Å<sub>OH</sub> for removing electron from each hydroxide ion OH− and forming hydroxyl radicals [OH] as strong oxidizers. It turned out that the ions of sodium and chlorine are connected into hydrates of sodium hypochlorite NaClO in this case.
