Notes:
   a  The molality values were calculated by the compilers.
   b  The solid phases are: A =NaCHO2; B = NaCHO2•2.5KCHO2; C = KCHO2.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The isothermal method was used. Two weeks were allowed for equilibration. The potassium content was determined by flame photometry. Formate ion content was determined permanganometrically. Sodium ion content was determined by the difference. The composition of the solid phases was determined by Schreinemakers' method.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   The sodium and potassium formates were prepared by neutralizing formic acid with the corresponding pro analysis grade hydroxides.
