St. Trendafilova, Chr. Balarew
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The isothermal solubility method was used. Four weeks were allowed for attainment of the equilibrium at a constant temperature. The composition of the liquid and wet solid phases were determined as follows:The $\ce{K^{+}}$ content was determined gravimetrically by the tetraphenylborate method. $\ce{Mn^{2+}}$ was determined complexometrically in basic medium, in the presence of 10% solution of N$\ce{H2O}$H•HCl using Eriochrome Black T as indicator. The composition of the solid phases was determined by elemental analysis, thermogravimetrically, crystallooptically and by X-ray diffraction. The composition of the suction dried solid phase was determined by the Schreinemakers' method also.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- $\ce{KCHO2}$ was obtained from $\ce{KOH}$ and $\ce{H2CO2}$ PA grade [1]. $\ce{Mn(CHO2)2}$ was obtained from $\ce{Mn(CHO2)2.2H2O}$ 'pure' grade through recrystallization (double recrystallization).
