Experimental Remarks:

        Remarks: The solubility isotherm for the NH4H2PO4-(NH4)2H2P2O7-H2O system at 0 °C is given in graphical form and described verbally as follows:
     Solubility of NH4H2PO4 is virtually constant in the concentration range of 0 mass % to 19.5 mass % of (NH4)2H2P2O7, then decreases slightly.
     Solubility of (NH4)2H2P2O7 increases in the concentration range of 0 mass % to 6.3 mass % of NH4H2PO4, but decreases in the concentration range of 6.3 mass % to 13.6 mass % NH4H2PO4.
     The composition of the eutonic point is 13.6 mass % NH4H2PO4 (2.5 mol/kg--compiler), 38.2 mass % (NH4)2H2P2O7 (3.7 mol/kg--compiler), 48.2 mass % H2O.
     The total plant food (N + P2O5) in the system under consideration is in the range of 13.7 to 40.6 mass %, the ratio N/P2O5 being constant at 1:5.
     The authors linearized the dependence of total plant food on total P2O5 content in the form y = 0.05 + 1.195x where y is the total plant food (N + P2O5) and x is the total P2O5 content.



Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
  

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The isothermal method was used. The system was equilibrated for 4 hrs. Liquid phases and wet residue were analyzed for total P2O5 and P2O5 in ortho form spectrophotometrically.1.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   Chemically pure NH4H2PO4 was used. (NH4)2H2P2O7 was prepared by heating (NH4)4P2O7 at 110 °C for 46 hours. The product contained 91.9 % (NH4)2H2P2O7 and 4.4 % NH4H2PO4. Paper chromatography2 showed the absence of any more condensed polyphosphates.

Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: No information is given.
   Temperature: No information is given.
