Pharmaceutical Analysis




  • Analysis are of two types:- - -



  1. Qualitative Analysis.


  2. Quantitative analysis.



  • Quantitative analysis are also of two types:- - -



  1. Volumetric Analysis.


  2. Titrimetric Analysis.



  • Quantitative chemical analysis carries out by determining the volume of solutions of accurately known as concentration which is required to react quantitatively with a measured volume of the solution of the substance to be determined.


  • Standard Solution: The solution of accurately known strength is known as Standard solution.


  • The reagent of known concentration is called TITRANT and substance being titrized called TITRAND.


  • Process of adding the standard solution until the reaction is just complete is also termed as TITRANT.


  • Process at which chemical or colour change occurs is known as equivalence point and theorotical point and stoichiometric end point.


  • The completion of titrant is detected by some physical change of the standard solution.

In titrimetric analysis reaction must obey the follwing condition : - - -




  • They must be a simple reaction which can be expressed by chemical equation.


  • Reaction should be realtively passed.


  • There must be an alteration in some physical and chemical properties of the solution and equivalence point.


  • An indicator should be available in physical properties should sharply defines the end point of the solution.

Classification of reaction in titrimetric analysis: - - -




  1. Neutralisation reaction and acidimety and alkalimetry.


  2. Complex formation reaction.


  3. Precipitation reaction.


  4. Oxidation and reduction reaction.



  • This includes titration of free bases, those are formed from the salts of weak acid by hydrolysis with a standard acid called Acidimetry and those are formed by hydrolysis of the salt of weak base with a standard base called Alkalimetry.


  • This reaction depends upon the combination of ions to form a precipitate.

for example: - -- - -- - Silver ion of solution in chloride.




  • Indicators are metal ions.


  • Some principle oxidizing agents are listed below : - - - -

KMnO4, Potassium dichromate, iodine, Potassium iodide, cerium (iv) sulphate.




  • Some principle reducing agents are listed below : - - - -

Vanadiun (II) chloride/sulphate, Titanium (II) chloride/sulphate, chromium (II) chloride/sulphate.




  • IUPAC definition of Mole : - - - - -

Amount of substance which contains as many elementary units as there are atoms in 0.012 Kg of C-12. The elementary units must be specified and may be an atom, molecule, ion, radical, an electon or other particle or specified group of such particles.




  • Molarity : - - - - Ratio of the moles of solute to the volume of solution in litres. It is denoted by capital M.

Definitions


Pharmacy: Pharmacy is defined as preparation and dispensing of drugs.

Drugs: Drug is defined as any chemical substance used in mitigation , diagnosis, prevention or treatment of diseases.

Pharmacology: Pharmacology is defined as study of the action of drugs on the body.

Pharmacologist: Pharmacologist is defined as person who study about drugs as well as the action of drugs on the body.

Pharmacopoeia: Pharmacopoeia is defined as book with list of drugs and directions for use.

for examples in India , the term IP is used in every medicines which stands for Indian pharmacopoeia(IP) and British pharmacopoeia is in England and (USP) stands for United states of pharmacopoeia which is used in United states.
