Study Notes

Importance of Pharmacy

Pharmacy is vital for developing rational drug formulations based on physicochemical properties.
Knowledge of molecular interactions is crucial to understand drug behavior in biological systems, ensuring efficacy and safety.

Molecular Interactions

Nonpolar Molecules: Octane and methane exhibit only London dispersion forces, the weakest type of intermolecular force.
Ion-Ion Interactions:
- Formed between counter ions, can be attractive or repulsive depending on charge similarities.
- Examples include:
  - Intermolecular (e.g., hydrochloride salt of a drug).
  - Intramolecular (e.g., salt bridges in protein structures).

Ideal Gas Law

The equation ( PV = nRT ) describes the relationship between pressure (P), volume (V), number of moles (n), ideal gas constant (R), and temperature (T).

Example Calculation

To find the volume of 2 moles of an ideal gas at 25°C and 780 mm Hg using the Ideal Gas Law:
- Convert temperature to Kelvin: ( 25°C + 273.15 = 298.15 K ).
- Convert pressure from mm Hg to atm: ( 780 mm Hg \div 760 = 1.0263 atm ).
- Use ( R = 0.0821 , L \cdot atm \cdot K^{-1} \cdot mol^{-1} ).
- Substitute values to find volume ( V ).
