Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
A visual polythermic method was used [1]. The appearance of the first crystals as well as the disappearance of the last crystals was observed, the difference between these values being kept to a minimum.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Reagent grade urea and $\ce{NH4H2PO4}$ were recrystallized and dried before being used. Their melting points were 132.5°C and 200°C, respectively.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: No information is given.
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): No information is given.
