Assay
Transfer about 400 mg of Betaine Hydrochloride, accurately weighed, to a conical flask, add 50 mL of glacial acetic acid, and heat gently with swirling until solution is complete. Add 25 mL of mercuric acetate TS, cool, add 2 drops of crystal violet TS, and titrate with 0.1 N perchloric acid VS to a green endpoint. Perform a blank determination, and make any necessary correction. Each mL of 0.1 N perchloric acid is equivalent to 15.36 mg of C5H11NO2·HCl.
