Conditions:
Room Temp: 10 - 70 °C
Compilers:
St. Trendafilova, Chr. Balarew
Methodology:
The method used was the isothermal decrease of supersaturation, under stirring, for 15-20 hrs. The $\ce{Cu^{2+}}$ content of the liquid and solid phases was determined complexometrically using Complexon III at pH 5.5-6.0 and Xylenol Orange as indicators.
Sample Information:
- Analytical Reagent grade substances were used. The copper formate was obtained by neutralizing formic acid solutions with basic copper carbonate.
Measurement Errors:
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): The solubility of the salt is determined in a slight excess of formic acid (about 2%) to suppress salt hydrolysis.
System Components:
- Copper (II) formate, $\ce{ Cu(CHO2)2 }$; [544-19-4] NIST WebBook
- Water, $\ce{ H2O }$; [7732-18-5] NIST WebBook
