Notes:
   a  These values were calculated by the compilers.
   b  The solid phase is: A = Fe3(CHO2)7(OH)2•4H2O.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Water and an excess of the crystallized salt were stirred in the apparatus described by Lumsden. 1 The formic acid content was determined by the method of Jones. 2 Iron was determined by direct ignition and weighed as the oxide.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   The salt was prepared by dissolving ferric hydroxide in 50% CH2O2 (d = 1.124) on a water bath, evaporating down, and cooling. 3
