Notes:
   a  These values were calculated by the compiler.
   b  The solid phases are: A = Ba(CHO2)2; B = Ba(CHO2)2•CH2O2.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The isothermal method was used. The methods of analysis are not described. The composition of the solid phases was determined by the Schreinemakers method.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   The salt was prepared from pure formic acid and barium carbonate or hydroxide; purity is not specified. Commercial formic acid was used.

Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: No information is given.
   Temperature: The temperature was controlled to within ± 0.01 °C. Nothing is said about the solubility values.
