5 Questions
The partition coefficient compares the concentration ratio of un-ionized species of a compound in two liquids.
True
The distribution coefficient compares the concentration ratio of ionized species of a compound in two liquids.
False
A high octanol-water partition coefficient indicates a chemical substance is hydrophobic.
True
Partition coefficients are not useful in estimating drug distribution within the body.
False
Hydrophilic drugs are mainly distributed to lipid bilayers of cells.
False
Learn about the solubility of substances, which is the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a given solvent at a specific temperature and pressure. Explore how solubility is affected by factors like nature of solute and solvent, temperature, pressure, and pH. Understand how to express solubility in terms of concentration like grams of solute per liter of solution (g/L) or moles of solute per liter of solution (mol/L).
