Study Notes
Solution and Solubility
- There are different ways to express solubility: % w/w (grams of solute / 100 grams of solution), % w/v (grams of solute / 100 ml of solution), and % v/v (milliliters of solute / 100 ml of solution)
- Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute per 1 liter of solution, with a unit of mol/L
- Molality is defined as the number of moles of solute per 1 kilogram of solvent
- Mole fraction is the ratio of the number of moles of solute to the total number of moles of solute and solvent
Pharmacopeia Classification of Solubility
- Very soluble: less than 1 part of solvent required for 1 part of solute
- Freely soluble: 1 to 10 parts of solvent required for 1 part of solute
- Soluble: 10 to 30 parts of solvent required for 1 part of solute
- Sparingly soluble: 30 to 100 parts of solvent required for 1 part of solute
- Slightly soluble: 100 to 1000 parts of solvent required for 1 part of solute
- Very slightly soluble: 1000 to 10000 parts of solvent required for 1 part of solute
- Practically insoluble: more than 10000 parts of solvent required for 1 part of solute
Determination of Solubility
- Excess drug is added to the solvent in a stoppered conical flask
- The mixture is shaken at a constant temperature for a specified period
- The mixture is left to equilibrate, then filtered, and the drug concentration is determined using a suitable method
Types of Solubility
- Solubility of gases in liquids
- Solubility of liquids in liquids
- Solubility of solids in liquids
Factors Affecting Solubility of Gases in Liquids
- Pressure: Henry's Law states that the concentration of dissolved gas is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the solution
- Temperature: the solubility of gases decreases as temperature increases
- Salting Out: the addition of electrolytes or non-electrolytes can affect solubility
- Chemical Reaction: chemical reactions can affect the solubility of gases in liquids
Solubility of Liquids in Liquids
- Complete Miscibility: two liquids mix in all proportions, forming one layer
- Partial Miscibility: two liquids mix, but two layers are formed, each containing some of the other liquid
