Notes:
   a  The solid phases are: A = Cd(CHO2)2•2H2O; B = LiCHO2•H2O.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The isothermal method was used. The mixtures were placed in glass vessels in a thermostat and stirred mechanically. Equilibrium was reached in 1.5-2 weeks. The lithium content of both phases was determined by flame photometry. The cadmium content was determined complexometrically. The composition of the solid phases was determined by Schreinemakers' method.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   LiCHO2•H2O was prepared by neutralizing 85% formic acid with p.a. grade LiOH. Cadmium formate was obtained from p.a. grade cadmium carbonate.

Estimated Errors:

   Temperature: The temperature was kept constant to within ±0.05 °C.
