  • Experiment Name:
    Conversion of water insoluble benzoic acid to water soluble sodium benzoate.

    Principle:

    Water is polar molecule. It dissolved only polar solid. In pharmaceuticals, Polarity increment may be required during several operations like liquid dosage form preparation. Increment is done by addition of polar salt or base with various non -polar substance. Increase the solubility of the solution with water.

    Benzoic acid helps prevent infection caused by bacteria. Benzoic acid is a topical medicine used to treat skin irritation and inflammation caused by burns, insect bites, fungal infections, or eczema .The salt and esters of benzoic acid are known as benzoates.


    Reaction:

    Required reagent for the experiment:

    Ø  Benzoic acid

    Ø  Sodium hydroxide

    Ø  Distilled water


    Required apparatus for the experiment:

    Ø  Test tube

    Ø  Dropper

    Ø  Watch glass

    • Conversion of water-insoluble Benzoic acid into water-soluble Sodium Benzoate

        


  • Experiment Name: Conversion of water-insoluble Salicylic acid into water Sodium Salicylate.

    Principle:

    Water is a polar molecule. It dissolved only polar solid. In pharmaceuticals, a Polarity increment may be required during several operations like liquid dosage form preparation. The increment is done by the addition of polar salt or base with various non-polar substances. Increase the solubility of the solution with water.

    Salicylic acid topical is used in the treatment of acne, dandruff, seborrhea, or psoriasis, and to remove warts. Naturally, cucumber, broccoli, cauliflower, corn, radish, sweet potato, and fennel contain Salicylates.


    Reaction:

     

    Fig. 2.1: Reaction between Salicylic acid and Sodium Carbonate.


    Reagent:

    §  Salicylic acid

    §  Sodium carbonate

    §  Distilled water

     

    Apparatus:

    §   01.Test tube

    §   02.Dropper

     

    Procedure:

    01. Take a small amount of salicylic acid powder (< 0.5 gm).

    02. Add a small amount of H2O (approximately 1 ml) and shake

    03. Observe that the powder is not Dissolving.

    04. Now added a small amount of NaCO3 and shake well.

    05. Observed that it dissolves the Salicylic acid.


    Observation:

    Salicylic acid completely dissolved in the water due to the formation of Di-sodium Salicylate acid.


    Result:

    Salicylic acid-insoluble in the water but di-sodium salicylate soluble in the water

  • Experiment Name: Preparation of Aluminum Hydroxide Al(OH)3 gel

    Principle:

    Aluminum is a naturally occurring mineral. Aluminum Hydroxide is an antacid. Antacids are the oldest effective medications for heartburn. Most commercially available antacids are combinations of aluminum and magnesium hydroxide. Some effervescent antacids contain sodium bicarbonate. This medication is used to treat the symptoms of too much stomach acid such as stomach upset, heartburn, and acid indigestion. Aluminum Hydroxide works quickly to lower the acid. Liquid antacids usually work faster than tablets or capsules.

    Aluminum Hydroxide Al(OH)2 is a suspension, 100 mg of which contain the equivalent of 3.6-4.4 gm of Aluminum Oxide (Al2CO3) in the form of Aluminum Hydroxide & Hydrate Oxide. Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3) reacts with potash alum and produce water-insoluble viscous Aluminum Hydroxide gel.


    Reaction:

    Al2(SO4)3 + 3Na2CO3 + 3H2O = 2Al(OH)3 + 3Na2SO4 + 3CO2


    Reagents:

    §     Sodium Carbonate (Na2(CO3)

    §     Hot water

    §     Potash alum [KAl(SO4)2]

    Apparatus:  

    Beaker

    Glass Rod

    Filter paper

    Pipette

    Funnel


    Procedure:

    1.      We measured 0.5 gm Na2CO3 & 1.5 gm Potash alum in wo separate beakers.

    2.      Then we added 25 ml hot water at each beaker.

    3.      Potash alum solution was also added to the hot solution of Na2CO3. A white precipitation of Al(OH)3 is formed.

    4.      Then we filtered the precipitated aluminum hydroxide to find aluminum hydroxide gel.

     

    Result:

    Al(OH)3  formed

     

    Comment:

    The white-colored Al(OH)3  gel was formed

     

    Precaution:

    §     Have to wear laboratory apron, hand gloves, mask & goggles.

    §     Have to wear shoes during the experiment.

    §     Have to be very careful during the experiment.

    §     Have to take all reagents carefully.
