Preparation and standardization of 0.1 M Zinc Sulfate USP Volumetric Solution

1.  PREPARATION:

Dissolve 28.8 g of Zinc sulfate in water to make 1000 ml.

2. STANDARDISATION:

Accurately measure about 10 ml of 0.1 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 0.1 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: 0.1 M ± 5 % (0.0950 M – 0.1050 M)

3. PREPARATION OF INDICATORS / REAGENTS :

a. 0.1 M Edetate disodium VS:
