Potassium Chloride
KCl 74.55
DEFINITION
Content
99.0 per cent to 100.5 per cent of KCl (dried substance).
CHARACTERS
Appearance
White or almost white, crystalline powder or colourless crystals.
Solubility
Freely soluble in water, practically insoluble in anhydrous ethanol.
IDENTIFICATION
A. It gives the reactions of chlorides.
B. Solution S gives the reactions of
potassium.
TESTS
Solution S
Dissolve 10.0 g in carbon dioxide-free water R
prepared from distilled water R and dilute to 100 ml with the same solvent.
Appearance of solution: Solution S is clear
and colourless.
Acidity or alkalinity:
To 50 ml of solution S add 0.1 ml of bromothymol blue solution. Not
more than 0.5 ml of 0.01 M hydrochloric acid
or 0.01 M sodium hydroxide is required to change the colour of the
indicator.
Bromides: Maximum 0.1 per cent.
Iodides: Moisten 5 g by the drop wise addition of a freshly prepared mixture of 0.15
ml of sodium nitrite solution, 2 ml of 0.5 M sulphuric acid ,
25 ml of iodide-free starch solution and 25 ml of water. After
5 min, examine in daylight. The substance shows no blue colour.
Sulphates: Maximum 300 ppm.
Aluminium:
Maximum 1.0 ppm, if intended for use in the manufacture of hem dialysis
solutions.
Barium: To 5 ml of solution S add 5 ml of
distilled water and 1 ml of dilute sulphuric acid. After 15 min, any opalescence in the solution is
not more intense than that in a mixture of 5 ml of solution S and 6 ml of distilled water.
Iron: Maximum 20 ppm.
Magnesium and
alkaline-earth metals: Maximum 200 ppm, calculated as Ca.
Sodium: Maximum 0.10 per cent, if intended for use in the manufacture of parenteral
preparations or hem dialysis solutions.
Heavy metals:
Maximum 10 ppm.
Loss on drying:
Maximum 1.0 per cent, determined on 1.000 g by drying in an oven at 105 °C
for 3 h.
