Potassium ChlorideSpecifications of Potassium Chloride USP Grade
KCl --- 74.55Assay: Potassium Chloride contains not less than 99.0 percent and not more than 100.5 percent of KCl, calculated on the dried basis.
Identification: A solution (1 in 20) responds to the tests for Potassium and for Chloride.
Acidity or alkalinity: To a solution of 5.0 g in 50 mL of carbon dioxide–free water add 3 drops of PhPh: no pink color is produced. Then add 0.30 mL of 0.020 N sodium hydroxide: a pink color is produced.
Loss on drying: Dry it at 105 for 2 hours: it loses not more than 1.0% of its weight.
Iodide or bromide:
Iodide: To pass the test. -- the limit is 0.005%.
Bromide: To pass the test. -- the limit is 0.1%.
Aluminum: where it is labeled as intended for use in hem dialysis to pass the test: --- the limit is 1 µg per g.
Calcium and magnesium: To 20 mL of a solution (1 in 100) add 2 mL each of 6 N ammonium hydroxide, ammonium oxalate and dibasic sodium phosphate: no turbidity is produced within 5 minutes.
Sodium: A solution (1 in 20), tested on a platinum wire, does not impart a pronounced yellow color to a non-luminous flame.
Heavy metals: Dissolve 2.0 g in 25 mL of water: the limit is 0.001%.
Organic volatile impurities: meets the requirements.
Specifications of Potassium Chloride FCC Food Grade
KCl 74.55DESCRIPTION: Potassium Chloride occurs as colorless, elongated, prismatic, or cubical crystals, or as a white, granular powder. It is stable in air. Its solutions are neutral to litmus. It may contain up to 1.0% (total) of suitable food-grade ant-caking, free-flowing, or conditioning agents such as calcium stearate or silicon dioxide, either singly or in combination. One gram dissolves in 2.8 mL of water at 25C, and in about 2 mL of boiling water. Potassium Chloride containing anti-caking, free-flowing, or conditioning agents may produce cloudy solutions or dissolve incompletely. It is insoluble in alcohol.
Function: Nutrient; gelling agent; salt substitute; yeast food.REQUIREMENTS:
Identification: A 1:20 aqueous solution gives positive tests for Potassium and for Chloride.
Assay: Not less than 99.0% of KCl after drying; and not less than 98.0% of KCl after drying when a sample contains added substance.
Acidity or Alkalinity: A sample containing no added substance passes test.
Heavy Metals (as Pb): Not more than 5 mg/kg.
Iodide and/or Bromide: Passes test.
Loss on Drying: Not more than 1.0%.
Sodium: Passes test.
