| Specifications | |
|---|---|
| Description: | Colourless crystals or a white, crystalline powder; slightly efflorescent in warm, dry air.(Note: The product may cause lumps or hardening over the storage). |
| Solubility: | Very soluble in water, freely soluble in ethanol (95%), Sparingly soluble in ether. |
| Identification A (By IR): | IR spectra of the sample should be concomitant with IR spectra of the corresponding standadrd |
| Identification B (By Chemical test): | It gives reaction A of citrates. |
| Identification C (By Chemical test): | A 10.0% w/v solution should be strongly acidic. |
| Appearance of Solution: | The solution should be clear and colourless or not more intensely coloured than reference solution YS7, BYS7 or GYS7. |
| Arsenic (As): | NMT 1ppm |
| Barium(Ba): | Any opalescence produced should not be more intense than that of mixture of 5ml of solution A and 5ml of distilled water |
