Notes:
   a  These values were calculated by the compiler.
   b  The solid phases are: A = NaCHO2•2H2O; B = 3NaCHO2•CH2O2; C = NaCHO2•CH2O2.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The isothermal method was used. The sodium formate content was determined gravimetrically as NaCl. Formic acid content was determined by titration with 5 N NaOH. The composition of the solid phases was determined by Schreinemakers method.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   No information is given.

Estimated Errors:

   Temperature: The termperature was controlled to within ± 0.1%.
