Variables:
Room Temp: Composition at 25 °C
Prepared by:
St. Trendafilova, Chr. Balarew
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The isothermal method was used. Equilibrium was attained in 5-6 hours. The glass vessels in the thermostat were coated with glycerin.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- 75% p.a. grade $\ce{H3PO4}$ was used. p.a. grade calcium formate was recrystallized.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: t = ±0.1°C.
Components:
- Calcium formate, $\ce{ Ca(CHO2)2 }$; [544-17-2] NIST WebBook
- Phosphoric acid, $\ce{ H3PO4 }$; [7664-38-2] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
