Notes:
   Table 1  a  These values were calculated by the compiler.
   Table 1  b  The solid phases are: A=(NH4)2HPO4; B=(NH4)2HPO4·2H2O; C=NH4H2PO4.
   Table 1  c  The meaning of this point is not clear. The compiler assumes it is a parallel analysis of H3PO4 in the solution above.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The isothermal method was used with mechanical stirring and an ice-water mixture as the bath. The equilibrium was ascertained by repeated analyses of the liquid phase (no details are given). Equilibrium was reached within 24 hrs.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   Anhydrous (NH4)2HPO4 was recrystallized from a solution containing a small excess of ammonia. No other information is given.

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