Notes:
   a  The molality values were calculated by the compilers.
   b  The solid phases are: A = Pb(CHO2)2; B = Cu(CHO2)2•4H2O.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The isothermal solubility method was used. Four weeks were allowed for equilibration. The copper content was determined iodometrically. The lead ion content was determined trilonometrically using Methylthymol Blue as indicator. Cu2+ is masked with thiocarbamide at pH 5.5-6.0. The composition of the solid phase was determined by the Schreinemakers' method. X-ray diffraction, DT, TG, DTG and T analysis were also used.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   The copper formate was prepared by the reaction of p.a. grade CuCO3 with p.a. grade formic acid. The lead formate was prepared by the reaction of pure PbCO3 with p.a. grade formic acid.
