Test solution— Use the Test solution prepared in the test for Clarity of solution.
To pass the test as per monograph
Test solution has the color of water.
Peroxide value: not more than 5.
Refractive index: between 1.538 and 1.541 at 20.
Acidity— Neutralize 50 mL of alcohol containing 1 mL of phenolphthalein TS with 0.10 N sodium hydroxide. Dissolve 10 mL of Benzyl Alcohol in 10 mL of the neutralized alcohol, and titrate with 0.10 N sodium hydroxide to the first appearance of a pink color that persists for not less than 30 seconds: not more than 1.0 mL is consumed.
Limit of nonvolatile residue— [NOTE—Ensure that the Benzyl Alcohol to be examined complies with the test for Peroxide value before performing this test.] Evaporate 10.0 g of Benzyl Alcohol on a water bath to dryness, and dry the residue at 105 for 1 hour. Cool in a desiccator, and weigh. The residue weighs not more than 5 mg: not more than 0.05% of nonvolatile residue is found.
