Description: | Colorless, translucent crystals or white, granular to fine crystalline powder. Melts at about 153°, with decomposition. |
Solubility: | Very soluble in water, freely soluble in alcohol, very slightly soluble in ether. |
Identification A (By IR): | IR spectra of the sample should be concomitant with IR spectra of the standard. |
Assay (Anhydrous basis): | 99.5%-100.5% |
Residue on ignition: | Not more than 0.1% |
Sulphate (SO4): | 0.015% max |
Limit of oxalic acid: | 0.036% max |
Clarity of solution: | The sample solution should show the same clarity as that of water or its opalescence should not be more pronounce than standard suspension. |
Colour of solution: | The sample solution should not more intensely colored than standard solutions |
Readily carbonizable substances: | The color of the acid should not be darker than that matching fluid. |
Water: | Not more than 1.0% |
