Study Notes
Pharmaceutical Aids and Necessities
- Important for the preparation, prevention, and storage of pharmaceutical products
Acids and Bases
- Inorganic acids:
- Boric acid (H3BO3)
- Phosphoric acid (H3PO4)
- Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
- Nitric acid (HNO3)
- Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
Boric Acid
- Also known as "boracic acid", "hydrogen borate", or "orthoboric acid"
- Physical properties:
- Colorless, odorless pearly scales or white odorless powder
- Uncutuous to touch, with a soapy feeling
- Solubility:
- Soluble in water and alcohol
- Freely soluble in glycerin, boiling water, and boiling alcohol
- Uses:
- Antiseptic and weak bacteriostatic agent in solutions, ointments, and dusting powder
- Eyewash (2.5-4.5%)
- Buffer in ophthalmic solutions and preparations
- Important note: Not to be taken orally
Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)
- Also known as "muriatic acid", "spirit of sea salt", or "marine acid"
- Physical properties:
- Colorless fuming liquid with a pungent odor
- Concentration: 36-38% HCl
- Uses:
- Acidifying agent that reacts with organic molecules to form "hydrochloride" salts
- Diluted HCl is similar to gastric juice (about 0.5%)
