TESTS TESTING PROCESS
No.
1 Appearance White or pale yellow, powder or crystals.
Freely soluble in water giving an opalescent solution, partly
2 Solubility
soluble in ethanol (96%).
First Identification A. Dissolve 0.1 g in 10 mL of water R and
shake. A copious foam is formed.
Second Identification B. To 0.1 mL of the solution prepared for
identification test A, add 0.1 mL of a 1 g/L solution
of methylene blue R and 2 mL of dilute sulfuric acid R. Add 2 mL
of methylene chloride R
and shake. An intense blue colour develops in the methylene
chloride layer.
Third Identification C. Mix about 10 mg with 10 mL of anhydrous
ethanol R. Heat to boiling on a water-bath,
3 Identification
shaking frequently. Filter immediately and evaporate the ethanol.
Dissolve the residue in 8
mL of water R, add 3 mL of dilute hydrochloric acid R, evaporate
the solution to half its
volume and allow to cool. Separate the congealed fatty alcohols by
filtration. To the filtrate
add 1 mL of barium chloride solution R1. A white, crystalline
precipitate is formed.
Forth Identification D. Ignite 0.5 g. The residue gives reaction (a)
of sodium (2.3.1).
Dissolve 1.0 g in 100 mL of carbon dioxide-free water R and add
0.1 mL of phenol red solution
4 Alkalinity R. Not more than 0.5 mL of 0.1 M hydrochloric acid is required to
change the colour of the
indicator.
and 10 mL of dimidium
bromide-sulfan blue mixed solution R. Titrate with 0.004 M
benzethonium chloride, shaking
vigorously and allowing the layers to separate before each
addition, until the pink colour of the
chloroform layer is completely discharged and a greyish-blue
colour is obtained.
1 mL of 0.004 M benzethonium chloride is equivalent to 1.154 mg
of sodium alkyl sulfates,
expressed as C12H25NaO4S.
