Variables:
Room Temp: 20.05 - 50.05 °C
Prepared by:
St. Trendafilova, Chr. Balarew
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The isothermal and polythermal method were used [1]. Equilibrium was achieved in 1.5-2 weeks. The cadmium content was determined by complexometric titration using Eriochrome Black T as indicator. The solid phase was identified using Schreinemakers', spectroscopic , thermal and X-ray methods.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- $\ce{Cd(CHO2)2.2H2O}$ was prepared from CP grade cadmium carbonate and 85% formic acid. The product was recrystallised twice from 1% formic acid. Purity is not specified. The water is freshly distilled.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: The temperature was controlled to within ±1°C1

(a) These values were calculated by the compilers.
(b) The solid phase is: A = Cd(CHO2)2·2H2O.
(c) These values were determined using the isothermal method. The other values were obtained using the polythermal method.
