Compilation - Barium formate with Water (IUPAC SDS Volume 73)
SDS Volume (4749)
Volume 73. Metal and Ammonium Formate Systems, p None
Original Measurements
Stanley, H.; Chem. News 89, 193 (1904).
Variables:
Room Temp: 0 - 100 °C
Prepared by:
St. Trendafilova, Chr. Balarew
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The isothermal method was used. The thermometer was graduated in tenths of a degree C. The barium content was determined gravimetrically as $\ce{baSO4}$.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- Barium formate was prepared by the reaction of the carbonate with formic acid.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: The temperature was controlled to within ±0.02°C.See note under Experimental Values.
Components:
- Barium formate, $\ce{ Ba(CHO2)2 }$; [541-43-5] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
Note: There are many arithmetical errors in this paper. The compilers have calculated and recalculated all the data in the above table.

| 100.0 | 31.68 | 46.38 | 2.039 | A |
(a) These values and the molality values were calculated by the compilers.
(b) The solid phase is: A = Ba(CHO2)2.
