Original Measurements
Portnova, S. M.; Krassilov, Yu. I.; Kuznetzov, N. T.; Balakaeva, I. V.; Zh. Neorg. Khim. 35, 237-41 (1990).
Variables:
Ambient temperature: Composition at 25 °C
Prepared by:
St. Trendafilova, Chr. Balarew
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The isothermal method was used. Four weeks were allowed for equilibration. The Cu2+ content was determined complexometrically. The Ba2+ content was determined gravimetrically as BaSO4 after the Cu2+ was bound with Complexon III. The composition of the solid phases was determined by the Schreinemakers' method, by DT analysis and by x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- The formates were obtained by neutralizing dilute formic acid with p.a. grade copper or barium oxides.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: Not given.
Experimental Values:
Solubility values in the Ba(CHO2)2-Cu(CHO2)2-H2O system at 25°C.
