Variables:
Temperature: 298.2 and 323.2 $\pu{K}$

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The isothermal method was used [1]. The formic acid content was determined by titration with $\pu{0.1 N} \ce{NaOH}$ using phenolphthalein as indicator. The $\ce{KCHO2}$ content was determined by titration with $\ce{NaOH}$ after passing the weighed sample through a chromatographic column. The water content was calculated by difference. The solid phase was identified by chemical, thermogravimetric, gas chromatographic and X-ray methods.
