Sodium Iodide
NaI
149.89
Sodium iodide. Sodium iodide [7681-82-5]. » Sodium Iodide contains not less than 99.0 percent and not more than 101.5 percent of NaI, calculated on the anhydrous basis.
Packaging and storage
Preserve in tight containers.
Alkalinity
Dissolve 1.0 g in 10 mL of water, and add 0.15 mL of 0.10 N sulfuric acid: no red color is produced by the addition of 1 drop of phenolphthalein TS.
Water, Method I 921:
not more than 2.0%.
Iodate
It meets the requirements of the test for Iodate under Potassium Iodide, 100 mg of Sodium Iodide being used in the control.
Thiosulfate and barium
It meets the requirements of the test for Thiosulfate and barium under Potassium Iodide.
Potassium
A solution of 1.0 g in 2 mL of water yields no precipitate with 1.0 mL of sodium bitartrate TS.
Heavy metals 231
Dissolve 2.0 g in 25 mL of water: the limit is 0.001%.
Limit of nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia
Add 5 mL of 1 N sodium hydroxide and about 200 mg of aluminum wire to a solution of 1.0 g of Sodium Iodide in 5 mL of water, contained in a test tube of about 40-mL capacity. Insert a pledget of purified cotton in the upper portion of the test tube, and place a piece of moistened red litmus paper over the mouth of the tube. Heat in a steam bath for 15 minutes: no blue coloration of the paper is discernible.
Assay
Weigh accurately about 500 mg of Sodium Iodide, and dissolve in about 10 mL of water. Add 35 mL of hydrochloric acid, and titrate with 0.05 M potassium iodate VS until the dark brown solution which is produced becomes pale brown. Add 1 mL of amaranth TS, and continue the titration slowly until the red color just changes to yellow. Each mL of 0.05 M potassium iodate is equivalent to 14.99 mg of NaI.
