7. Chlorides
Limit: Not more than 50 ppm
Procedure:
Sample Solution: Dilute 10 ml of solution S to 15 ml with water.
To 15 ml of sample solution add 1 ml of 2M nitric acid, pour the mixture as a single addition into 1 ml of silver nitrate solution and allow standing for 5
minutes protected from light. When viewed transversely against a black background any opalescence produced is not more intense than that
obtained by treating a mixture of 10 ml of chloride standard solution (5 ppm Cl) and 5 ml of water in the same manner.
8. Oxalate
Limit: Not more than 300 ppm.
Procedure: Dissolve 0.50 g sample in 4 ml of water, add 3 ml of hydrochloric acid and 1 g of granulated zinc and heat on a water-bath for 1 min.
Allow to stand for 2 min, decant the liquid into a test-tube containing 0.25 ml of a 10 g/l solution of phenylhydrazine hydrochloride and heat to boiling.
Cool rapidly, transfer to a graduated cylinder and add an equal volume of hydrochloric acid and 0.25 ml of potassium ferricyanide solution. Shake
and allow standing for 30 min. Any pink color in the solution is not more intense than that in a standard prepared at the same time, in the same
manner, using 4 ml of a 50 mg/l solution of oxalic acid.
9. Sulfate
Limit: Not more than 150 ppm.
Procedure: Sample Solution: To 10 ml of solution S add 2 ml of hydrochloric acid and dilute to 15 ml with distilled water.
Add 3 ml of a 250 g/l solution of barium chloride to 4.5 ml of sulfate standard solution (10 ppm SO4). Shake and allow standing for 1 min. To 2.5 ml of
this solution, add 15 ml of the sample solution and 0.5 ml of acetic acid. Prepare a standard, in the same manner, using 15 ml of sulfate standard
solution (10 ppm SO4 ) instead of the solution to be examined.
10. Heavy metals
Limit: Not more than 10 ppm,
Reagent required
Acetate buffer pH 3.5
Thioacetamide reagent
Lead standard solution (1 ppm)
To 12 ml of the solution S add 2 ml of acetate buffer pH 3.5, mix, add to 1.2 ml of Thioacetamide reagent, mix immediately and allow standing for 2
minutes. Any brown color produced is not more intense than that obtained by treating, in the same manner, a mixture of 10 ml of lead standard
solution (1 ppm Pb), and 2 ml of the solution being examined. The standard solution exhibits a slightly brown color when compared to a solution
prepared by treating, in the same manner, a mixture of 10 ml of water and 2 ml of the solution being examined.
11. Water
Limit: 11.0 to 13.0 %
Procedure: Transfer 35 to 40 ml of methanol to the titration vessel, and titrate with K.F. reagent, standardized earlier, to the electrometric endpoint to
consume any moisture that may be present. Quickly and accurately add 300 mg substance, after adding the substance to be examined, stir for 15
min before titrating, and again titrate with the reagent to the electrometric end-point. Calculate the % of water using the formula:
Calculation
V x F x 100
Water (% w/w) = -----------------
W
Where,
V= Volume of K.F. reagent consumed (ml)
F= Water equivalence factor of reagent in mg/ml
W= Weight of substances in mg
12. Assay
Limit: Not less than 99.0 % and Not more than 100.5 % on the anhydrous basis
Reagent required
Anhydrous glacial acetic acid,
Naphtholbenzene solution
Perchloric acid 0.1M
Procedure: Dissolve 0.150 g in 20 ml of anhydrous acetic acid R, heating to about 50°C. Allow cooling. Using 0.25 ml of naphtholbenzein solution R

as an indicator, titrate with 0.1 M perchloric acid until a green color is obtained. 1 ml of 0.1 M perchloric acid is equivalent to 8.602 mg of
C6H5Na3O7.
Calculation
V x M x F x 100 100
% Assay on dried basis = ----------------------- x -------------------
0.1 x W (100 – Water)
Where,
V= Consumed volume of 0.1 M Perchloric Acid
M= Molarity of 0.1 M Perchloric Acid
F= Factor
W= Weight of substance.
13. Arsenic
Limit: Not more than 2 ppm
Procedure: Dissolve 5 g sample in 50 ml of water and add 15 ml of stannated hydrochloric acid AsT.
Into the bottle or conical flask introduce the test solution; add 5 ml of 1M potassium iodide and 10 g of zinc AsT. Immediately assemble the apparatus
and immerse the flask in a water bath at a temperature such that a uniform evolution of gas is maintained. After 40 minutes any stain produced on
the mercuric chloride paper is not more intense than that obtained by treating in the same manner 1.0 ml of arsenic standard solution (10 ppm As)
diluted to 50 ml with water.
14. Tartrate
Limit: No crystalline precipitate is formed.
Procedure: To a solution of 1 g in 2 ml of water in a test-tube, add 1 ml of a 10% w/v solution of potassium acetate and 1 ml of 6M acetic acid.
Scratch the walls of the test-tube with a glass rod; no crystalline precipitate is formed.
