Identification—
A:
Dissolve about 1.5 g in 25 mL of water, and add 3 mL of 6 N acetic acid: a white precipitate of sulfadiazine is formed. Collect the precipitate on a filter, wash it well with cold water, and dry at 105 for 1 hour: the sulfadiazine so obtained melts between 250 and 254 as determined by the method for Class Ia under Melting Range or Temperature 
741
, and responds to Identification test A under Sulfadiazine.

B:
Ignite about 500 mg: the residue responds to the tests for Sodium 191.

Loss on drying 731—
Dry it at 105 for 2 hours: it loses not more than 0.5% of its weight.

Heavy metals—
Dissolve 1.0 g in 25 mL of water, and add 5 drops of sodium sulfide TS: any dark color produced is not darker than that in a blank to which 2 mL of Standard Lead Solution (see Heavy Metals 231) has been added (0.002%).
231) has been added (0.002%).
Assay—
Proceed with Sulfadiazine Sodium as directed under Nitrite Titration 451. Each mL of 0.1 M sodium nitrite is equivalent to 27.23 mg of C10H9N4NaO2S.
