Ammonium Sulfate USP NF Grade Specifications
(NH4)2SO4 -- 132.14
Ammonium sulfate [CAS 7783-20-2].
Ammonium Sulfate contains not less than 99.0 percent and not more than 100.5 percent of (NH4)2SO4.
Identification: A solution (1 in 20) responds to the tests for Ammonium and for Sulfate.
Microbial limits: The total aerobic microbial count does not exceed 1000 cfu per g, and the total combined molds and yeasts count does not exceed 10 cfu per g.
pH: between 5.0 and 6.0, in a solution.
Residue on ignition: Not more than 0.005%, determined on a 20-g sample.
Limit of insoluble matter: Maximum 0.005%).
Limit of phosphate: To pass the test.
Limit of chloride: To pass the test.
Assay: Transfer about 2.5 g of Ammonium Sulfate, accurately weighed, into a 500-mL conical flask, and dissolve in 50 mL of water. Add 50.0 mL of 1 N sodium hydroxide VS, place a filter funnel loosely in the neck of the flask, and boil until ammonia is expelled (about 10 to 15 minutes) as determined with litmus paper. Cool, add 0.15 mL of thymol blue TS, and titrate the excess sodium hydroxide with 1 N sulfuric acid VS. Perform a blank determination (see Residual Titrations under Titrimetry 541 ). Each mL of 1 N sodium hydroxide is equivalent to 66.07 mg of (NH4)2SO4.
