IDENTIFICATION
• A. Identification Tests—General, Chloride 
191
:
Yields white, curdy precipitate of silver chloride with silver nitrate TS, which is insoluble in nitric acid. After being washed with water, this precipitate is soluble in a slight excess of 6 N ammonium hydroxide.

ASSAY
• Procedure
Sample:
425 mg
Analysis:
Transfer the Sample to a 400-mL beaker, dissolve in 25 mL of water, add 300 mg of ammonium chloride and 0.5 g of hydroxylamine hydrochloride, and swirl to dissolve. Warm slightly on a hot plate, and dilute with water to 100 mL. Add 3 mL of triethanolamine and stir the solution, preferably using a magnetic stirrer. Begin the titration by adding 25 mL of 0.05 M edetate disodium VS, then add 10 mL of ammonia–ammonium chloride buffer TS, and 1 mL of eriochrome black TS. Continue to titrate with 0.05 M edetate disodium VS to a blue endpoint. Each mL of 0.05 M edetate disodium is equivalent to 6.292 mg of MnCl2.
Acceptance criteria:
98.0%–101.0% of MnCl2 on the dried basis
IMPURITIES
• Chloride and Sulfate, Sulfate 221
221
Sample:
2.0 g
Acceptance criteria:
Shows no more sulfate than corresponds to 0.10 mL of 0.020 N sulfuric acid (0.005%).
• Zinc
Sample solution:
Dissolve 1 g in a mixture of 48 mL of water and 2 mL of sulfuric acid.
Analysis:
To the Sample solution, add, slowly and with constant agitation, 1 mL of potassium ferrocyanide solution (1 in 100).
Acceptance criteria:
No turbidity is produced within 5 min.
• Heavy Metals, Method I 231
231
Sample solution:
Dissolve 6.0 g in 30 mL of water. [Note—Use 25 mL of this solution in the Test Preparation and use the remaining 5.0 mL in preparing the Standard Preparation. ]
Acceptance criteria:
NMT 5 ppm
SPECIFIC TESTS
• Insoluble Matter
Sample solution:
Transfer 10 g to a 250-mL beaker, add 150 mL of water, cover the beaker, and heat to boiling.
Analysis
Digest the hot Sample solution on a steam bath for 1 h, and pass through a tared filtering crucible of fine pore size. Rinse the beaker with hot water, passing the rinsings through the filter, and finally wash the filter with additional hot water. Dry the filter at 105
.
.
Acceptance criteria:
The residue weighs NMT 0.5 mg (0.005%).
• Substances Not Precipitated by Ammonium Sulfide
Sample solution:
Dissolve 2.0 g in 90 mL of water, add 5 mL of ammonium hydroxide, and warm the solution to 80. Pass a stream of hydrogen sulfide through the solution for 30 min. Dilute with water to 100 mL, mix, and allow the precipitate to settle. Decant the supernatant through a filter of fine pore size, and transfer 50.0 mL to an evaporating dish that previously has been ignited and tared.

Analysis:
Evaporate the filtrate to dryness, cool, add 0.5 mL of sulfuric acid, heat gently to remove the excess acid, and ignite at 800 ± 25 for 15 min.
for 15 min.
Acceptance criteria:
The weight of the residue is NMT 2.0 mg (NMT 0.2% as sulfate).
• pH 791

Sample solution:
10 g in 200 mL of carbon dioxide- and ammonia-free water
Acceptance criteria:
3.5–6.0
• Loss on Drying 731:
Dry a sample at 50 for 2 h, then raise the temperature to 150 for 24 h: it loses 36.0%–38.5% of its weight.
