    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 ).
