Conditions:
Room Temp: Composition at 15 °C
Compilers:
St. Trendafilova, St. Tepavitcharova
Methodology:
The isothermal method was used. Equilibrium was achieved within 4 hours. The boron concentration was determined by titration with alkali using phenolphtalein and mannitol, after the sample had been evaporated to dryness, ignited at 60 °C and dissolved in boiling $\ce{HCl}$ [1]. The formate content was determined from the carbon content by ignition. The composition of the solid phases was determined by the Schreinemakers' method.
Sample Information:
- p.a. grade $\ce{NaCHO2}$ and suprapure grade $\ce{Na2B4O7}$ were used.
Measurement Errors:
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): Solid phase B is probably NaCHO2·2H2O.
