Study Notes

Pharmaceutical Calculations

  • The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is also known as the buffer equation.
  • The Noyes-Whitney equation is used to calculate the dissolution of a drug.

Solubility and Miscibility

  • To increase the miscibility of partially miscible liquids, a solubilizer or a co-solvent should be added.
  • The vapor pressure of a solution decreases in the presence of a solute.

Solutions and Concentration

  • The number of gram equivalents of solute per liter of solution is called normality.
  • NaCl exists in a face-centered cubic crystalline form.

Diffusion and Transport

  • Passive diffusion involves the transport of drugs from a region of high to low concentration.
  • Fick's law of diffusion reveals the rate of diffusion of a drug.

Physical Properties

  • A contact angle of 0° is observed when complete wetting occurs between a liquid droplet and the surface.
  • Gels and magmas form a sediment when standing, and become a uniform mixture on shaking.

Intermolecular Forces

  • Polar molecules with dipole movement exhibit dipole-dipole forces.
  • Polymorphism is the term for the existence of elemental substances in more than one crystalline form.

Osmometry and Solubility

  • The haemolysis method is used to measure tonicity based on the effect on red blood cells suspended in solutions.
  • Henry's law expresses the effect of pressure on the solubility of a gas.
  • Induced dipole forces involve the attractive interaction between a polar molecule and the induced dipole.
