Chemistry and Pharmacy: Key Concepts and Applications

A three-year-old girl was abducted and murdered, and despite a suspect pleading guilty, no fingerprints were found in the car, which was processed four days after the abduction.
Matter is classified into macroscopic states (solid, liquid, gas) and microscopic states (particle arrangement).
Conversions, constants, and multiplication factors are essential in chemistry, including the mole road map.
Gases and volatile agents are encountered in pharmacy, such as anesthetics, volatile drugs, and propellants for needle-free injection technologies.
The ideal gas law describes the physical properties of gas, with the gas constant having a value of 8.314 J K-1 mol-1.
Physical parameters like mass, volume, pressure, and temperature characterize the state of a sample, and SI units quantify each parameter.
The ideal gas law is used to calculate pressure exerted by a gas, considering significant figures.
The van der Waals equation of state modifies the ideal gas law to account for repulsion and attraction between gas molecules.
Dalton's law states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the pressures exerted by individual gases.
Partial pressures of gas mixtures can be calculated using mole fractions and total pressure.
The text recommends reading "Elements of Physical Chemistry" by P. Atkins and J. de Paula for further understanding of the topic.
"Physicochemical Principles of Pharmacy" by A.T. Florence and D. Attwood, 4th Ed., is also suggested for additional context, available online through iCat.
