Original Measurements
Itkina, L. S.; Masitov, R. K.; Portnova, S. M.; Zh. Neorg. Khim. 22, 803-8 (1977).
Variables:
Room Temp: Composition at 25 °C
Prepared by:
St. Trendafilova, Chr. Balarew
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The isothermal method was used. Seven days were allowed for equilibration. The lithium content of both phases was determined iodometrically, the OH content was determined by titration with $\ce{HClO4}$ in an ethylene glycol medium. The content of $\ce{LiCHO2}$ was determined by difference. The composition of the solid phases was determined by Schreinemakers' method and controlled crystallo-optically, and by IR spectroscopy.

Ambient temperature: No information is given.
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): No information is given.
Components:
- Lithium formate, $\ce{ LiCHO2 }$; [556-63-8] NIST WebBook
- Lithium hydroxide, $\ce{ LiOH }$; [1310-65-2] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
