Study Notes
Introduction to Inorganic Chemistry
- Focuses on the study of inorganic compounds, including elements and their compounds, excluding organic compounds primarily based on carbon.
- Highlights the significance of the Periodic Table as a tool for understanding elemental properties and relationships.
- Sodium gluconate acts as an electrolyte replenisher and systemic alkalizer, with various medicinal uses including laxative properties.
Key Inorganic Compounds
-
Sodium Fluoride (NaF):
- Corrosive reagent with anticariogenic properties.
- Replaces hydroxyl ions in hydroxyapatite to form fluoroapatite, enhancing dental enamel.
- Chronic ingestion can lead to dental fluorosis.
-
Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH):
- Commonly known as caustic soda or soda lye.
- Utilized as a saponifying agent in the production of soaps.
- Not used in parenterals but essential in various large-scale and extemporaneous compounding applications.
Important Pharmaceutical Applications
-
Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2):
- Known as agua oxigenada; used widely as an antiseptic and bleaching agent.
- Available commercially in different concentrations, primarily stabilized aqueous solutions.
-
Sodium Metabisulfite and Antidotes:
- Effective as a chemical antidote for cyanide poisoning, converting cyanide to sodium thiosulfate and aiding in renal protection.
Group IA Overview
- Comprises alkali metals, including Lithium (Li), Sodium (Na), and Potassium (K).
- Elements are characterized by high reactivity, particularly with water, forming hydroxides and releasing hydrogen gas.
Potassium (K)
- Also known as kalium; involved in various biochemical processes.
- Functions include acting as an osmotic diuretic and an expectorant, along with its role as a systemic and urinary acidifier.
Significant Inorganic Acids and Bases
- Acid-base reactions are pivotal in analytical chemistry and medical applications.
- Agents like Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate are crucial in potassium removal from the body, exemplifying the clinical importance of inorganic compounds.
Questions to Consider
- What antidote is used for mercury poisoning?
- What reagent is effective at removing stains caused by mineral chameleons?
