Identification—
A:
Infrared Absorption á197Kñ,on the undried specimen.
B:
Asolution (1in 10)meets the requirements of the tests for Sodium á191ñ.
Alkalinity—
Dissolve 2.0g in 20mLof water,and add 1drop of phenolphthalein TS:if a pink color is produced,it is discharged by 0.50mLof 0.10Nsulfuric acid.
Water,Method Iá921ñ:
not more than 1.0%.
Heavy metals,Method IIá231ñ:
0.001%.
Organic volatile impurities,Method Iá467ñ:
meets the requirements.
Assay—
Dissolve about 200mg of Sodium Butyrate,accurately weighed,in 50mLof glacial acetic acid.Add 1drop of crystal violet TS,and titrate with 0.1Nperchloric acid to a green endpoint.Perform a blank determination,and make any necessary correction.Each mLof 0.1Nperchloric acid is equivalent to 11.01mg of C4H7NaO2.
