3.0 BACKGROUND 

NIL

4.0 RESPONSIBILITY

4.1 QC-Chemist 

4.2 Head-QC

5.0 PROCEDURE

5.1 Preparation:
Dissolve 40g of ferrous ammonium sulphate in a previously cooled mixture of 40 ml of sulphuric acid and 200ml of water dilute with sufficient freshly boiled and cooled water to produce 1000ml.

5.2 Standardization:
Pipette accurately 25.0ml of the solution into a flask,add 2 drops of 1,10-phenanthroline solution and titrate with 0.1M ceric ammonium sulphate until red colour is changed to pale blue. Each ml of 0.1M ceric ammonium sulphate is equivalent to 0.03921g of Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2,6H2O .

Note :

• The molarity factor of volumetric solution should not differ by more than ± 5% of the Prescribed strength and the molarity should be determined with a precision of 0.2%.
• Re-standardize after 15 days.
• Storage in amber bottle with well fitted suitable stoppers which prevent access to atmospheric carbon dioxide.
• Discard the solution after 30 days.
• For storage and labeling follow the general procedure.
