---|---|
Appearance/Description: | Colorless, cubic crystals or white crystals or crystalline powder. Has a saline taste or almost white pearls. |
Solubility: | Freely soluble in water; and slightly more soluble in boiling water; soluble in glycerin; slightly soluble in alcohol. Practically insoluble in anhydrous ethanol |
Identification(Sodium): | Dense white precipitate should form. |
Identification (Chloride): | The precipitate dissolves easily with the possible exception of a few large particles, which dissolve more slowly |
Appearance of Solution: | Clear and colorless solution |
Assay (Dried basis): | 99.0% -100.5% of NaCl |
Arsenic (As): | NMT 1 ppm |
Barium(Ba): | Any opalescence in the test solution should not more intense than that in the reference solution |
