white to slight yellow crystalline powder 

freely soluble in water insoluble in benzene, chloroform & ether.

solution a turns red litmus paper r blue & then bleached it.

melting point: 137-140c

ignite 1g (cautiously, because of the risk of deflagration). dissolve the residue in 10ml of water r. the solution gives reaction (a) of chlorides.

the solution prepared for identification test c gives reaction (a) of sulfates.

the solution prepared for identification test c gives reaction (b) of sodium.
