Notes:
   ^a  The solid phases are: A = Cu₂(OH)₃(CHO₂); B = Cu(OH)₂.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The system is studied by the method of physico-chemical analysis. After attaining the equilibrium, the residue concentrations of Cu²⁺ and OH^- are measured and also the refractive index (n) of the liquid phases. The methods of measurements are according to Ref. 1.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   The cademium formate is obtained from copper carbonate and formic acid. The obtained product is twice recrystallized.

Estimated Errors:

   Temperature: t =±0.05 °C.
