Q

The influence of temp on solubility of NaSO4 10H2O (sodium sulphate decahydrate)

A

Sol increase w temp up to 32.5C

At 32.5C, converts to anhydrous form-transient temp
Solubility decrease with temp
dissolution = exo, NOT favoured as temp increases. Reduced exo/diss/ sol

Occurs during salt (of drug) crystallisation-

Q

Less polar solution has a …. surface tension

Why? (Inc surfactant)

A

Lower
Less H bond bw neighbouring molecules, more interactions with the air, more volatile
Longer Hc chain- non polar- tendency adsorbing onto surface - disturb the tight arrangement of molecules- lower surface tension

  • stabilise what type of emulsions at what temperature
  • relate to cloud point
  • definition

27
Q

Describe the DLVO theory about pharmaceutical suspension

A

When dispersed in a liquid medium, particles will experience electrostatic repulsive force and attractive VDW forces
The energy of both equals to Vt the overall energy of interaction between particles

A

Irreversible coagulation, not able to re-disperse upon shaking

Q

What’s Zeta potential

A

Measures degree of electric charge on particles relative to bulk medium ( in which they are suspended

31
Q

A
  1. Spherical particles of uniform size
  2. Dilute suspension medium < 2% w/v
  3. No interactions between particles and suspension medium
32
Q

What is the stocks equation

A 
The rate of sedimentation 
v = 2 x a^2 x g (Pp-Pm) / 9 x n
a: particle radius. Smaller the size, harder to form caking 
g: gravity 
Pp: density of particles 
Pm: density of medium 
n: viscosity of suspension medium. The higher the viscosity, the slower the sedimentation. 
Easier to sediment in dilute liquid
