Comparison: ketamine hydrochloride CRS.<\/p>\n

C. It gives reaction (a) of chlorides (2.3.1).<\/p>\n

TESTS<\/h2>\n

Solution S<\/h3>\n

Dissolve 10.0 g in carbon dioxide-free water R and dilute to 50.0 mL with the same solvent.<\/p>\n

Appearance of solution<\/h3>\n

Solution S is clear (2.2.1) and colourless (2.2.2, Method II).<\/p>\n

pH (2.2.3)<\/h3>\n

Sulfated ash (2.4.14)<\/h3>\n

Maximum 0.1 per cent, determined on 1.0 g.<\/p>\n

ASSAY<\/h2>\n

Dissolve 0.200 g in 50 mL of methanol R and add 1.0 mL of 0.1 M hydrochloric acid. Carry out a potentiometric titration (2.2.20), using 0.1 M sodium hydroxide. Read the volume added between the 2 points of inflexion.<\/p>\n
