Notes:
   Table 1  a  The molality values were calculated by the compiler.
   Table 1  b  The solid phases are: A=ice; B=α-NH4H2PO4; C=α-CO(NH2)2; D=β-NH4H2PO4; E=β-CO(NH2)2; F=γ-CO(NH2)2.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   A visual polythermic method was used.1 The appearance of the first crystals as well as the disappearance of the last crystals was observed, the difference between these values being kept to a minimum.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   Reagent grade urea and NH4H2PO4 were recrystallized and dried before being used. Their melting points were 132.5 °C and 200 °C, respectively.

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