Compiler:
Methodology:
A visual polythermal method was used. This was supplemented with differential thermal analysis but no numerical DTA data are tabulated.
Sample Information:
- The materials were prepared by reacting C.P. carbonates with a slight excess of formic acid [1].
Component (1) undergoes phase transitions at 60, 135 and 157°C [2].
Component (2) undergoes a phase transition at 140°C.
Measurement Errors:
Ambient temperature: The compiler estimates the accuracy of the temperature measurements to be probably ±2 K.
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): No information is given.

- Potassium formate, $\ce{ KCHO2 }$; [590-29-4] NIST WebBook
- Magnesium formate, $\ce{ Mg(CHO2)2 }$; [557-39-1] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
Note: The system was investigated at 0 ≤ 100 x2 ≤ 25 due to thermal instability of component 2. No characteristic point was observed in the composition range mentioned.
