|---|---|
| Appearance/Description: | Colourless, translucent crystals or white or almost white granular to fine crystalline powder, efflorescent.(Note: The product may cause lumps or hardening over the storage). |
| Solubility: | Very soluble in water, freely soluble in alcohol and ethanol(96%), very slightly soluble in ether, |
| Identification (By chemical test 1): | The solution should be strongly acidic. |
| Identification (By IR): | IR spectra of the sample should be concomitant with IR spectra of the corresponding standadrd |
| Identification (By chemical test 2): | A red colour should develop. |
| Identification (By chemical test 3): | A white precipitate should form. |
| Identification (By Water): | 7.5% to 9.0% |
| Appearance of Solution: | The solution is clear and colourless or not more intensely coloured than reference solutions |
| Clarity of solution: | The sample solution shows the same clarity as that of water or its opalescence should not more pronounced than standard suspension A |
