    Pharmaceutical Aids and Necessities - Unit 8 Objectives

    • Students will recall fundamental concepts of acids, bases, buffers, various types of pharmaceutical waters, and antioxidants.
    • They will calculate pH, pKa, and buffer capacity.

    Topic Outline for Unit 8

    • Acids and Bases
    • Buffers
    • Waters
    • Antioxidants

    Introduction to Pharmaceutical Aids and Necessities

    • Pharmaceutical aids and necessities are essential substances for preparing, preserving, and storing pharmaceutical products.
    • These substances are typically categorized into official inorganic acids, bases, buffers, antioxidants, various types of water, and glass materials.

    Properties of Acids

    • Sour taste
    • Turn blue litmus red
    • Change methyl orange to red
    • Phenolphthalein remains colorless
    • Do not give a soapy touch
    • Give hydrogen ions in solution

    Properties of Bases

    • Bitter taste
    • Turn red litmus blue
    • Change methyl orange to yellow
    • Phenolphthalein gives pink color
    • Soapy to touch
    • Give hydroxyl ions in solution

    Acid-Base Theories

    • Arrhenius: Produce H+ ions in water; produce OH- ions in water
    • Brønsted-Lowry: Proton donor; proton acceptor
    • Lewis: Electron acceptor; electron donor

    Arrhenius Concept

    • Limited to aqueous systems; only considers acids and bases with H+ and OH- ions

    Arrhenius Acid Examples

    • HCIO3 (Chloric acid)
    • HNO3 (Nitric acid)
    • HClO4 (Perchloric acid)
    • H3PO4 (Phosphoric acid)
    • H2SO4 (Sulfuric acid)
    • H2SO3 (Sulfurous acid)
    • HCl (Hydrochloric acid)
    • CH3COOH (Acetic acid)
    • HBr (Hydrobromic acid)

    Arrhenius Base Examples

    • NaOH (Sodium hydroxide)
    • NH4OH (Ammonium hydroxide)
    • KOH (Potassium hydroxide)
    • Mg(OH)2 (Magnesium hydroxide)
    • Ca(OH)2 (Calcium hydroxide)
    • Al(OH)3 (Aluminum hydroxide)

    Examples of Dissociation in Water

    • NaOH (aq) → Na+(aq) + OH-(aq)
    • KOH (aq) → K+(aq) + OH-(aq)
    • Ca(OH)2(aq) → Ca2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq)
    • Mg(OH)2(aq) → Mg2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq)
    • NH4OH(aq) → NH4+(aq)+OH-(aq)

    Brønsted-Lowry Concept

    • Acid = proton donor (H+)
    • Base = proton acceptor

    Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs

    • Conjugate acid: forms when a base accepts a proton
    • Conjugate base: forms when an acid donates a proton
    • Strong acid → weak conjugate base
    • Strong base → weak conjugate acid

    Examples of Brønsted-Lowry Reactions

    • HCl + H2O → H3O+ + Cl-
    • H2O + NH3 → NH4+ + OH-
    • H3PO4 + OH- → H2O + H2PO4-

    Dissociation Constants and pH

    • Ka (acid ionization constant): [H3O+][A-]/[HA]
    • Strong acids have large Ka values (Ka > 1)
    • pH = -log [H+]

    Hydrogen Ion Concentration and pH

    • pH = -log[H3O+]
    • [H3O+]=antilog-pH

    Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation

    • pKa = pH - log [A-]/[HA]
    • pKa = pH + log [HA]/[A-]

    Dissociation Constants for Bases and pOH

    • Kb = Keq [H2O] = [BH+] [OH-]/[B]
    • pOH = - log [OH-]
    • pH + pOH = 14

    Relationships between Ka, Kb, pH, pOH, and pKw

    • Ka x Kb = Kw = 1 x10-14
    • pKa + pKb = pKw = 14
    • pKw = pH + pOH = 14

    Practice Problems & Solutions

    • Various practice problems related to calculations of pH, pOH, Ka, percent ionization, and concentrations of solutions (with provided answers)

    Percent lonization for Weak Acids and Bases

    • % ionized = (ionized/[ionized + unionized]) x 100
    • % ionized = [10^(pH - pKa) / (1 + 10^(pH - pKa))] x 100 (for weak acids)
    • % ionized = [1 / (1 + 10^(pKa - pH))] x 100 (for weak bases)

    Salts of Acids and Bases - General Properties

    • Weak acids have strong conjugate bases
    • Weak bases have strong conjugate acids
    • Strong acids have weak conjugate bases
    • Strong bases have weak conjugate acids

    • Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)
    • Nitric Acid (HNO3)
    • Phosphoric Acid (H3PO4)
