Notes:
   a  The molality values were calculated by the compilers.
   b  The solid phases are: A = Sr(CHO2)2•2H2O; B = SrCl2•6H2O.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The method used was the isothermal decrease of supersaturation. Equilibrium was reached in 10-15 h. The strontium content was determined complexometrically. The chloride ion content was determined volumetrically by the Mohr method. The strontium formate concentration was estimated by difference. The composition of the ideally suction-dried solid phase was determined by the Schreinemakers method. X-ray diffraction and DT analysis were also used.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   The strontium chloride was p.a. grade (Merck). The strontium formate was prepared by the reaction of dilute formic acid with strontium oxide, carbonate or hydroxide all of which were p.a. grade (Merck or Fluka).
