3. Pharmaceutical analysis
is a branch of
chemistry, which involves the series of process for
the identification, determination, quantitation, and
purification. This is mainly used for the separation
of the components from the mixture and for the
determination of the structure of the compounds.
The pharmaceutical analysis defined as the
application of analytical procedures used to
determine the purity, quality and safety of the drugs
and chemicals.
4. TYPES OF ANALYTICAL METHOD
1. Qualitative (identification) is performed to establish
composition of natural/synthetic substances.
2. Quantitative (estimation) techniques are mainly used to
quantify any compound.

7. Thermometry
In thermometry we monitor change in physical property of sample as function of controlled
temperature change.
Event may be during thermometry
Weight loss(TGA)
Melting
Change in visco-elastic property
Change in heat and energy of transition
Application
Purity of medicinal substance
Study of relative heat stability
Crystallography
Generation of phase diagram
8. Titration
A titration is a technique where a solution of known concentration is used to determine the concentration
of an unknown solution.
Terminology used
Analyte- The solution of unknown concentration but known volume.
Titrant- The solution of known concentration
Equivalence point- point where the amount of two reactant are just equivalent.
End point- Point at which the reaction is observed to be complete , this point is usually observe with the
help of indicator(colour change)
Indicator- An auxiliary substance which helps in the usual detection (colour change) of the completion of
the titration process at the end point.
9. Electrometry
Electro analytical method are a class of techniques in analytical
chemistry which study an analyte by measuring the potential (volts)
and/or current (amperes) in an electrochemical cell containing the
analyte.
The three main categories are
Potentiometry- the difference in electrode potentials is measured.
Coulometry- the cell's current is measured over time.
Voltammetry- the cell's current is measured while actively altering the
cell's potential.
10. Chromatography
Chromatography' (from Greek Chroma“colour” and graphein “to write”) is an analytical technique
commonly used for separating a mixture of chemical substances into its individual components, so that
the individual components can be thoroughly analysed.
Terminology
Mobile phase- The liquid or gas that flows through a chromatography system, moving the materials to be
separated at different rates over the stationary phase
Stationary phase- the phase over which the mobile phase passes in the technique of chromatography
Principle
Adsorption
Partition coefficient
11. Spectroscopy
Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction between electromagnetic radiation and matter.
Spectrum is defined as the characteristic wavelengths of EMR that is emitted or absorbed by an object or
substance, atom, or molecule.
Spectrometer- measurement of spectrum
Type of spectroscopy-
Absorption
Emission
Scattering
Application-
Structure elucidation
Detection of molecular weight
Determination of concentration
12. Method of expressing concentration
The concentration of solute in a solution may be expressed in
many ways, depending upon the convenience to those concerned
with its use
These are
1. Normality
2. Molarity
3. Molality
4. Formality
5. Percentage concentration
6. PPM/PPB
13. Normality
Number of gram equivalent present per litre of
solution
It is denoted by “N”
N =
Gram Equivalent =
No. of gram equivalent
Vol. of solution(in Litre)
Molecular weight
Acidity/Basicity
14. Molarity
Number of moles of solute present in one litre of
solution
It is denoted by “M”
M =
No. of moles of solute
Vol. of solution (in litre)
15. Molality
Number of moles of solute present in one Kg of
solvent.
It is denoted by “m”
m =
No. of moles of solute
Mass of solvent (in Kg)
16. Formality
It is rarely used term
It is calculated based on the formula weight of the solute
per litre of the solution
It is denoted by “F”
F =
Formal concentration indicates moles of original
chemical formula in the solution without considering the
species actually exits in the solution
Formula weight
Vol. Of solution (in Litre)
17. Percentage concentration
Many times concentration is expressed in term
of percentage (parts per hundred).
%W/W = x100
%V/V = x 100
%W/V = x 100
Weight of solute (in g
Weight of the solution (in g)
