Notes:
   Table 1  a  These values were calculated by the compiler.
   Table 1  b  The solid phases are: A=ice; B=α-KNO3; C=α-NH4H2PO4; D="unidentified conversion product":; E=β-KNO3; F=β-NH4H2PO4.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   A polythermic method was used.1 The appearance of the first crystals as well as the disappearance of the last crystals was recorded.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   Reagent grade KNO3 and NH4H2PO4 were recrystallized and dried before being used. Their melting points were 337 °C and 200 °C, respectively.

Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: No information given.
   Temperature: The only information given is that the difference between the temperature of dissolution of the last crystal and appearance of the first crystal was kept to a minimum.
