Methodology:

The only information given is that the solubility values were determined by the freezing point method.

Sample Information:

1. The potassium salt was prepared by dissolving the carbonate in 90% formic acid. After heating to drive out the $\ce{CO2}$, the salt was crystallized from solution and heated just below its melting point. It was then recrystallized from absolute ethanol and dried over 99% sulfuric acid in vacuo (MP = 440.7 K). The formic acid was prepared by treating a c.p. product with $\ce{B2O3}$. It was then distilled in vacuo until a product melting above 281.6 K was obtained.

Measurement Errors:

Ambient temperature: Nothing is specified.
