TESTS Assay (By indirect acid–base titrimetry). Weigh accurately about 4.0 g for the anhydrous salt and 6.5 g for the heptahydrate salt, and dissolve in 50 mL of water and exactly 50.0 mL of 1 N hydrochloric acid volumetric solution. Heat to boiling to expel carbon dioxide. While protecting the solution from absorbing carbon dioxide, cool, and titrate with 1 N sodium hydroxide volumetric solution to the inflection point at about pH 4, as measured with a pH meter. Calculate A, the equivalent of 1 N hydrochloric acid consumed by the sample. Continue the titration with 1 N sodium hydroxide to the inflection point at about pH 8.8. Calculate B, the equivalent of 1 N sodium hydroxide required in the titration between the two inflection points.

If A is equal to or greater than 2B, then

If A is less than 2B, then

where F is 0.2123 for the anhydrous salt and 0.3384 for the heptahydrate salt.

Dibasic Potassium Phosphate and Excess Alkali Calculate the amount of dibasic potassium phosphate as K2HPO4 or the amount of excess alkali as potassium hydroxide from the titration values obtained in the assay. If A is less than 2B, then

If A is greater than 2B, then

Insoluble Matter [Part 2: Gravimetric Methods; Insoluble Matter]. Dissolve 10.0 g in 100 mL of water, add 0.10 mL of methyl red indicator solution, add hydrochloric acid until the solution is slightly acid to the indicator, and continue as described.

Chloride [Part 2: Colorimetry and Turbidimetry; Chloride]. Dissolve 0.20 g of sample in 10 mL of water, add 3 mL of nitric acid, and dilute to 20 mL.

Heavy Metals ([Part 2: Trace and Ultratrace Elemental Analysis; Inductively Coupled Plasma−Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP–OES); Calculation of Heavy Metals (by ICP–OES) Results], by ICP–OES). Use 0.5 g sample.

Iron [Part 2: Colorimetry and Turbidimetry; Iron; Procedure for Iron, Method 2 (Hydroxylamine and 1,10-Phenanthroline)]. Use 1.0 g.

Sulfate Dissolve 1.0 g in 15 mL of water, and add 4.0 mL of 10% hydrochloric acid (solution pH 2). Filter through washed filter paper, and add 10 mL of water through the same filter. For the control, add 0.05 mg of sulfate ion (SO4) in 20 mL of water, and then add 1.0 mL of dilute hydrochloric acid (1:19). Dilute both to 35 mL with water, add 5.0 mL of 40% barium chloride solution, and mix. Observe turbidity after 10 min. The turbidity of the sample solution should not exceed that of the control.

Sodium (By flame AAS, [Part 2: Trace and Ultratrace Elemental Analysis; Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy; Analysis; Procedure for Flame AAS]).

For the Determination of Sodium

S o d i u m S t o c k S o l u t i o n . Dissolve 1.0 g of sample in water, and dilute to 100 mL in a volumetric flask with water (1 mL = 0.01 g).
