Preparation and standardization of 0.05 M Zinc Sulfate USP Volumetric Solution

1.  PREPARATION:

Dissolve 14.4 g of Zinc sulfate in water to make 1000 mL.

2. STANDARDISATION:

Accurately measure about 10 mL of 0.05 M Disodium edetae VS into a 125 mL conical flask, and add, in the order given, 10 mL of Acetic acid-ammonium acetate buffer TS, 50 mL of alcohol and 2 mL of Dithizone TS. Titrate with the 0.05 M Zinc suifate solution to a clear, rose-pink color.

Calculation :

Molarity (M) = [Volume of Disodium edetate (in mL) x Molarity of Disodium edetate]/ [Titration Reading (in mL)]

Limit: 0.05 M ± 5 % (0.0475 M – 0.0525 M)

3. PREPARATION OF INDICATORS / REAGENTS :

a. 0.05 M Disodium Edetate VS :
