Notes:
   a  The molality values were calculated by the compilers.
   b  The solid phases are: A = Pb(CHO2)2; B = Ca(CHO2)2.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The isothermal method was used. Four weeks were allowed for equilibration. The Ca2+ content was determined complexometrically in a basic medium using Methylthymolblue as indicator. The Pb2+ content was determined trilonometrically. The composition of the solid phases was determined by the Schreinemakers' method, IR spectroscopy, DTA, and X-ray diffraction.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   The formates were obtained by neutralizing formic acid with p. grade calcium hydroxide and p. grade PbCO3.
