Original Measurements
Itkina, L. S.; Portnova, S. M.; Zh. Neorg. Khim. 25, 1109 (1980).
Variables:
Composition and temperature
Prepared by:
St. Trendafilova, Chr. Balarew
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The isothermal method was used. Three weeks were allowed for equilibration. The lithium content of both phases was determined by flame photometry in the presence of $\pu{0.1 M} \ce{Al(NO3)3}$ [1]. $\ce{Ca^{2+}}$ was determined complexometrically. The composition of the solid phases was determined by Schreinemakers' method and controlled crystallo-optically.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- The formates were prepared by neutralization of formic acid with the corresponding oxides, hydroxides or carbonates.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: No information is given.
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): No information is given.
