Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The method used was the isothermal decrease of supersaturation. The Mn
2+
content of the liquid and solid phases was determined complexometrically at
p
H 9.5-1 0 using Eriochrome Black T as indicator after masking Zn
2+
as cyanide. The sum of Mn
2+
and Zn
2+
was also determined complexometrically using Xylenol Orange at
p
H 5.5 as indicator. The composition of the suction-dried solid phase was calculated using the algebraic indirect identification of solid phase composition method.

The mixed crystals were also studied by x-ray diffraction.
Source and Purity of Materials:
The reagents used were of p. a. grade. The manganese and zinc formates were prepared by action of dilute formic acid on manganese and basic zinc carbonates, respectively.
Estimated Errors:
Solubility: The solubility of the salts was determined in a slight excess of formic acid (about 2%) to suppress salt hydrolysis.
Temperature: Not given.
