Analysis of Drugs by Visible Spectroscopy
Introduction
When matter interacts with an energy source (heat, sound, electricity, light, etc.)
some of the energy can be absorbed, causing the particles to be elevated to different
energy levels. In some cases, the particles can be excited totally out of the original
chemical system holding them in place. Under certain conditions, though, the amount of
energy absorbed can be controlled, and information about the chemical system can be
obtained. This is the case in absorption spectroscopy.
If we monitor a beam of light shining through a sample containing a substance that can
absorb one of the beam's wavelengths, we can obtain a plot of the amount of light
absorbed versus the wavelength. This plot is known as an absorption spectrum, and
shows which particular wavelengths of light a chemical species can absorb.
The first factor is whether the sample will absorb light at that wavelength
The second is the amount of sample that the light must pass through or,
the cell width (b).
(1)
and,
Percentage of light transmitted (% T) = T 100
(2)
where,
I 0 = initial intensity of the light beam, and
I t = transmitted intensity of the light beam
The transmittance of the sample varies logarithmically with the cell width and the
concentration of the absorbing species in the following way:
log (1/T) = -log T = (proportionally constant) b C
(3)
(4)
(5)
or,
A = a b C (when C = g/l or other units)
(6)
This equation is known as Beer's Law, which shows the linear relationship between the
absorbance and the concentration of the absorbing species.
In chemical analysis, the following two methods can utilize Beer's Law:
1. Absolute Calculations
Absorptivity or molar absorptivity is calculated by measuring the absorbance of a
standard of known concentration in a cell known cell width. This calculated value is then
used to determine an unknown concentration of the same absorbing species from the
absorbance measurement at that concentration.
2.
The absorbance of a series of three to five standard solutions are measured and
plotted on graph paper against the concentrations of these standards. This is known as a
Beer's Law plot. The absorbance of an unknown concentration is then measured, and its
concentration is determined directly from the plot.
This method is more commonly used than the absolute calculation,
because experimental error will average out over the number of standards.

Drug Stability ( Solution Kinetics )
Experiment 2
This experiment provides an introduction to the simplest type of solution kinetics
usually encountered. We will study in this experiment a specific reaction that is the Ester
Hydrolysis.
R-COOR + H2O
RCOOH + ROH
14
NO2
O C CH3
In this experiment we will determine the rate constant of the alkaline hydrolysis of pnitrophenylacetate in the presence of Tris Buffer (pH = 8.5 and at 0.5 M).
The kinetic parameters you will determine are :
1. The observed Rate constant of the hydrolysis and the half life of the reaction at
different temperatures (27, 37 and 47o C ).
2. The heat of activation for the overall reaction.
3. Buffer catalysis of the alkaline hydrolysis of p. nitrophenylacete.
Theoretical considerations
Let E represent the ester . Then in the absence of buffer the rate (velocity) of the
hydrolysis reaction over the entire pH range can be written:
v = KH [E] [H+] + KW [E] + KOH [E][OH-] ---------------------- ( 1 )
Where
v
: reaction rate
+
KH : second order rate for acid catalyzed hydrolysis.
KOH- : second order rate for base catalyzed hydrolysis.
KW : first order constant for the uncatalyzed hydrolysis.
At very low pH only the term containing KH+ will be important , while at very
high pH only the term containing KOH - will be important. At an intermediate pH it may
be necessary to write all three terms, because at least one of them will always be
relatively small.
In the presence of buffer catalysis, the rate of the hydrolysis reaction over the entire
pH can be written:
v= KH [E] [H+] + KW [E] + KOH [E][OH-] + KB [B] [E]------- ( 2 )
Where KB = second order rate constant for buffer catalysis and [B] = buffer
concentration. Considering the high pH range only KOH and KB are important . Then the
reaction rate becomes:
v = KOH [E][OH-] + KB [B] [E]------------------------------------- ( 3 )
15
Kobs [E]----------------( 4 )
[Kobs/2.303]* t ----------------------( 6 )
Where [Eo ]is the ester concentration at time zero and [ E ] is its concentration at time t .
Now suppose that during the hydrolysis of this ester the solution Absorbance undergoes a
change . If Beers law is followed by all absorbing species , it can be shown that :
[ E ]/ [Eo ]
= [A At ]/ [A At ]----------------------------( 7 )
t = 0 , At
at
t = t , and A at t =
16
Equation (10) predicts that the higher the temperature the greater the rate constant
and therefore the faster the rate of reaction. On the other hand at constant temperature (To
K) the pre exponential coefficient, the greater the activation energy, the slower the
reaction, and more rate is influenced by the given temperature. Equation (10) can be
regulated to read:
Log k Log A (H# /2.303RT)
Therefore a plot of log K (on the vertical axis ) vs . 1 / To K should give a straight
line . The slope of this line is equal to -H# / 2.303 R .
17
Experimentation:
In this experiment students will be divided into six groups. Each group will
determine the rate constant and the half-life (of the alkaline hydrolysis of pnitrophenyl acetate in Tris buffer of pH 8.5 and 0.05 M ) at one temperature. Therefore,
o
o
two groups will study the ester hydrolysis at 27 C , others at 37 C and the last two
o
groups at 47 C.
18
Materials:
Each group of students will be provided with the following :
o
1. Water bath adjusted to a specific temperature (either; 27, 37 or 47 C.
2. A 100 ml volumetric flask preheated to the temperature of your water bath containing
98 ml of Tris buffer solution of pH 8.5 and 0.05M of total Tris buffer.
3. A Stopwatch.
4. A bucket of ice.
5. Ten test tubes.
6. A 5-ml pipette.
7. P-nitrophenylacetate stock solution (in acetonitrile) containing 0.5 mg/ml
8. Spectrophotometer 22RS, and two cuvettes.
Procedure:
1. Each group should divide the duties between themselves with the help of the TA in
charge
2. Set the wavelength of spectrophotometer 22RS to 398.5nm and check its
operation using a blank solution (Tris buffer at pH 8.33 and contains0.05M total
Tris buffer).
3. Pipette 2.0 ml of ester stock solution into the flask, shake well and note the time
(i.e.:, At = 0 when t = 0).
4. Withdraw 5 ml from the flask as function of time and tabulate your data in columns
with headings as in table (5).
5. Immediately after withdrawing the sample, measure the Absorbance at max =
398.5 (against buffer) otherwise, place the sample in ice to stop the reaction until
you are ready to measure the Absorbance.
6 6. Since the laboratory period is less than the time required for the
complete hydrolysis of P-nitrophenyl acetate, you are provided with
absorbance at time infinity (i.e. A = 1.015 )

Micellar Solubilization
Introduction :
The solubilizing power of water surfactant solutions is of great importance in the
preparation of dosage forms containing sparingly soluble drug . The factors affecting
micellar solubilization are many and their interrelationship complex. In general, the
degree of solubilization is a function of the physiochemical properties of the surfactant
and solubilizate .
In this experiment, the effect of surfactant structure on the solubility of
undissociated salicylic acid will be investigated. The surfactants used will be nonionic
Tween 60 (polyoxyethelene (20) sorption monostearate) , Tween 40 ( polyoxyethelene
(20) sorbitan monopalmitate ). Solubility determinations will also be conducted in Tween
60 solutions buffered at higher pHs to determine the effect of solute ionization on
solubilization. At the conclusion of this experiment you should be aware of the effect of
surfactant structure and solubilizate Ionization State on solubilization.
Experimental :
A. you will find on the side bench saturated solutions of salicylic acid in the various
surfactant solutions . They are labeled with the name and concentration ( %W/V ) of the
particular surfactant . Besides surfactant, each solution contain 0.1N HCL to insure that
the salicylic acid remains undissociated in solution. Each solution, after dilution, will be
assayed by the usual method using Trindars reagent .Use distilled water as a blank.

Determination of The Adsorption Parameters of Oxalic Acid
on Charcoal
This experiment will demonstrate the adsorption phenomena and teach us to
determine to determine the adsorption parameters.
Introduction:
In general, colloidal dispersions have the property of adsorbing solutes at their
surfaces. Thermodynamically, such adsorption process occurs to reduce the surface free
energy of the dispersion and therefore increases its stability. The degree of adsorption of a
solute (adsorbate) on the adsorbent, depends on 5 factors:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
At a constant temperature, the relation between the amount adsorbed and the
concentration in a limited concentration range may be represented by one of three
adsorption isotherms.

The first plot (Plot 1) shows that the adsorption phenomena deals with the
occupancy at the surface and as the vacancy increases, the rate of occupancy
increases, and at the end, when no more vacancy is available, the rate of occupancy
will be equal to 0.
The second plot (Plot 2) reflects the linearized form of Langmuir equation. It
will help us finding the Langmuir adsorption parameters: Ym and b.
The third plot (Plot 3) in fact, reflects the linearized form of Freundlich

parameters: K and n.

If one end of a filter paper strip is dipped into a colored hydrosol, the
ascent of the color will depend on the charge of the colloid. If the colloid has a
positive charge a distinct preparation between the dispersed phase and the
dispersing medium occurs in the ascending portion of the sol. such a
separation does not occur if a negatively charged colored sol. is used. This
phenomenon is probably due to the fact that the wetted filter paper acquiring a
negative charge. The negatively charged cellulose fibers will allow negatively
charged colloids to rise but it will attract and hold positively charged colloids
preventing the ascent of a positive hydrosol.
Procedure:
1. Prepare 1% aqueous solution of Amaranth and a 1% aqueous solution of
methylene blue.
2. Place 70 ml of each solution in 100 ml beaker.
3. Into each solution place the end of a strip of filter paper holded specially by
a stand, and observe at different time intervals.

Stability of Colloidal Dispersions
Lyophobic colloids have been affinity or the dispersing medium and are
not solvated. They are stabilized by a charge acquired by preferential
absorption of ions. Lyophilic colloids on the other hand, are highly solvated as
well as charged. The charge is usually a result of ionization. Their stability,
however, stems mainly from salvation effects.
Lyophobic colloids will precipitate if their electrical charge is
neutralized often remain dispersed as they solvated.
Materials:
Ferric hydroxide sol. silver sol., 2% acacia mucilage, 1% gelatin sol.
at pH 2. Different electrolyte concentrations as shown in Table 90% ethanol.
Procedure:
1. Triturate 5 ml of each of the above mentioned solutions in a test tube with
each of the electrolyte solutions in turn. Report the approximate
concentration in mol/L necessary for the precipitation of the colloid. Time
may be allowed for precipitation to take place.
2. The various solutions may be mixed with an equal volume of ethanol.
3. Evaporate 5 ml of each of the above solutions on a water bath to dryness.
Examine the residue and try to redisperse it by the gradual
addition of 5 ml of water.

Measurement of viscosity using an Ostwald Viscometer
a) Determine the flow time of the liquid of known viscosity as water ( = 1 c p )
b) Determine the flow rate (Time) of the liquid of unknown viscosity at the same
temperature.
c) Calculate the viscosity (Kinematics) of the unknown liquid using the following
formula.
1 / 2 = t1 / t2
Where 1 and t1 are the viscosity and time of flow of the unknown fluid and
2 and t2 are the viscosity of water (1 c p) and time of flow respectively.
Procedure:
1. Clean and dry the viscometer.
2. Fill by means of arm (hg) so that the level in this arm stand is within 0.2mm of the
mark (g) when the tube is clamped vertically.
3. By means of a rubber tube suck the liquid to about 1 cm above mark (b).
4. Note the time of flow back through the tube between the marks (b) and (c).
5. Take three reading and find the average.
6. Calculate the kinematics viscosity of the liquid of unknown viscosity using the above
equation.

Experiment 12
Temperature dependency of viscosity
The viscosity of a liquid is inversely proportional to the temperature of this liquid.
This relationship is quantitatively expressed by the modified Arrhenius equations.
Log = log A Ev/2.303 R .1/T
Firstly, Study the viscosity change of 1% gelatin solution by temperature. Secondly,
determination of the equations constants A and Ev form the constructed graph.
Procedure:
Determine the dynamic viscosity of the gelatin solution 2% using Ostwald viscometer at
25, 35 , 45 .
Tabulate your results, log, T (K) and 1/T and plot log against 1/T. Calculate the
values of A and Ev form the intercept of the y- axis and slope of the straight line,
respectively.
Conclusion:
Knowing the Constants A and Ev for a particular system enables
Prediction of viscosity values at any desired temperature without
repeating the experimental work.
