Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
Mixtures of the components were stirred vigorously and allowed to equilibrate for 15 hrs to 25 hrs. The equilibrium was checked by repeated analysis of the liquid phase. $\ce{PO4^{3-}}$ content was determined by precipitation titration with $\ce{La(NO3)3}$ using Chromazurol S as indicator; $\ce{NH4^{+}}$ was determined, after removal of phosphate ions, with the aid of anion exchange resin by formol tritration. Urea was determined gravimetrically as dixanthedrylurea or after enzyme decomposition as $\ce{NH3}$. The composition of the solid phases was determined by the method of Schreinemakers.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- The ammonium phosphate was recrystallized several times before use. The urea phosphate was synthesized from urea and an equivalent amount of phosphoric acid and recrystallized several times.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: The temperature was kept constant to within ±0.05 K.
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): No information is given.
