Conditions:
Room Temp: Composition at 50 °C
Compilers:
St. Trendafilova, Chr. Balarew
Methodology:
The isothermal method was used. The mixtures were placed in glass vessels in a thermostat and stirred mechanically. Equilibrium was reached in one and a half weeks. The barium content of both phases was determined gravimetrically as $\ce{BaSO4}$ in the presence of Complexon III [1]. The cadmium content was determined complexometrically. The composition of the solid phases was determined by Schreinemakers' method, IR spectroscopy, TG analysis and X-ray diffraction.
Sample Information:
- The barium formate was p.a. grade. The cadmium formate was prepared by the reaction of 85% formic acid with p.a. grade $\ce{CdCO3}$. Both formates were recrystallized twice from a 1% formic acid solution.
Measurement Errors:
Ambient temperature: Not given.
