Mixture of magnesium peroxide and magnesium oxide.<\/p>\n
Content<\/strong><\/p>\n 22.0 per cent to 28.0 per cent of MgO2<\/sub> (Mr<\/sub> 56.30).<\/p>\n White or slightly yellow, amorphous, light powder.<\/p>\n Practically insoluble in water and in ethanol (96 per cent). It dissolves in dilute mineral acids.<\/p>\n A. Dissolve about 15 mg in 2 mL of dilute nitric acid R and neutralise with dilute sodium hydroxide solution R. The solution gives the reaction of magnesium (2.3.1).<\/p>\n B. Dissolve 50 mg in 2 mL of dilute sulfuric acid R. Add 2 mL of a 5 g\/L solution of potassium permanganate R and shake. The solution becomes colourless with evolution of gas.<\/p>\n Dissolve cautiously 5.0 g in 40 mL of hydrochloric acid R1. Cautiously evaporate the solution to 10 mL and dilute to 100 mL with a mixture of equal volumes of acetic acid R and distilled water R. Filter, if necessary, through a previously ignited and tared porcelain or silica filter crucible of suitable porosity to give a clear filtrate. Keep the residue for the test for acid insoluble substances.<\/p>\n Dilute 5 mL of solution S1 to 25 mL with distilled water R.<\/p>\n Solution S1 is not more intensely coloured than reference solution B4<\/sub> (2.2.2, Method II).<\/p>\n To 2.0 g add 100 mL of carbon dioxide-free water R and heat to boiling for 5 min. Filter whilst hot through a sintered-glass filter (40) (2.1.2), allow to cool and dilute to 100 mL with carbon dioxide-free water R. To 15 mL of the filtrate, add 0.1 mL of phenolphthalein solution R. The solution is red. Not more than 0.2 mL of 0.1 M hydrochloric acid is necessary to change the colour of the indicator. Keep the filtrate for the test for soluble substances.<\/p>\n Maximum 0.1 per cent.<\/p>\n Any residue obtained during the preparation of solution S1, washed, dried and ignited at 600 \u00b1 50 \u00b0C, weighs a maximum of 5 mg.<\/p>\n Maximum 1.5 per cent.<\/p>\n Take 50 mL of the filtrate obtained in the test for acidity or alkalinity, evaporate to dryness and dry at 100-105 \u00b0C. The residue weighs a maximum of 15 mg.<\/p>\n Maximum 0.1 per cent.<\/p>\n Dissolve 50 mg in 5 mL of dilute nitric acid R and dilute to 15 mL with water R.<\/p>\n Maximum 0.5 per cent.<\/p>\n Dilute 3 mL of solution S2 to 15 mL with distilled water R.<\/p>\n Maximum 1.0 per cent.<\/p>\n Dilute 1 mL of solution S2 to 15 mL with distilled water R.<\/p>\n Maximum 500 ppm.<\/p>\n Dilute 2 mL of solution S2 to 10 mL with water R.<\/p>\n Dissolve 80.0 mg, shaking cautiously, in a mixture, previously cooled to 20 \u00b0C, of 10 mL of sulfuric acid R and 90 mL of water R. Titrate with 0.02 M potassium permanganate until a pink colour is obtained. 1 mL of 0.02 M potassium permanganate is equivalent to 2.815 mg of MgO2<\/sub>.<\/p>\n Protected from light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Edition: BP 2025 (Ph.
