ASSAY OF CALCIUM CITRATE

Reagent required
3n Hydrochloric acid
0.05M Disodium Edetate
Sodium hydroxide solution
Hydroxy naphthol blue
Procedure
Dissolve about 350 mg of calcium citrate, previously dried at 150°C to constant weight and accurately weighted, in a mixture of 10ml of water and 2 ml of 3N hydrochloric acid, and dilute with water to about 100 ml. While stirring, add about 30 ml of 0.05 M Edetate Disodium from a 50 ml burette. Add 15 ml of 1N sodium hydroxide and 300 mg of hydroxyl napthol blue, and continue the titration to a blue endpoint. Each ml of 0.05 M Edetate Disodium is equivalent to 8.307 mg of Ca3 (C6H5O7)2.
Calculation:
V x M x F                   100
%Assay =     ---------------------  x  ----------------
                                0.05 x W               (100-LOD)
Where,
V = Blank reading- Sample reading
M = Molarity of 0.05M Disodium Edetate
F = Factor

W = Weight of sample
