SOLUBILITY TEST

Aim: To determine nature of given compound using solubility test.


Requirements: Beaker, Solvents , compound, Test tubes , Testtube stand , glassrod, Molisch regent , litmus paper.


Procedure:

1)Take some amount of sample dissolve it in the solvent.

(Solvents used are water, NaOH, NaHCO3 , HCl.)

2)Check the given compound is soluble in which solvent.

If it is soluble in HCl- the given compound is water insoluble basic,

NaHCO3 then water insoluble strong acid, 

NaOH then water insoluble weak acid,

In water the compund is water soluble neutral/acidic/basic.


Theory:-

When mixture of definite quantity of given solute and specific amount of given solvent forms a homogeneous amount liquid the former is said to be soluble in the latter.

The study if solubilty behavior of an unknown substance in various liquids ie water , sodium hydroxide, sodium hydrogen carbonate and HCl.


1) compund +H2O---

▪︎If it solublizes in water then perform litmus test


•If blue litmus turns red it is water soluble acidic


•If red litmus turns blue it is water soluble basic


•If no change it is water soluble neutral then

Proceed for molisch test


-If violet ring form the test is positive and compound is carbohydrate.

-If not then compund is water solube netural salt.


▪︎Not soluble in water proceed for other solvent.


2) Compound+ NaHCO3-----

▪︎Soluble then presence of water insoluble strong acid


•Strong acids: Strong acid e.g. benzoic acid gives effervescence with NaHCO3
Hence, effervescence on addition of NaHCO3 to binary mixture indicates presence of strong acid

Water-insoluble strong acids (e.g. phthalic acid, benzoic acid) will give effervescence and dissolve in saturated NaHCO3


•Weak acids:Weak acids such as phenols do not react with saturated NaHCO3 since NaHCO3 is a weak base.

▪︎ if not soluble proceed for NaOH

3)Compound + NaOH-----

▪︎ If Soluble then water insoluble weak acid.

•Strong and weak acids: Both strong and weak acids react with NaOH to form water soluble salts. Individual compounds can be regenerated using cone. HCI. Only water insoluble acids regenerate but not  water-soluble ones


▪︎ if insoluble in NaOH proceed for HCl

4) Compound+ HCl------

▪︎It is water insoluble base.



Conclusion

The given compound if soluble in

HCl - water insoluble basic,

NaHCO3 -water insoluble strong acid, 

NaOH -water insoluble weak acid,

H2O-water soluble neutral/acidic/basic.

Determination of stomatal number

Image
Stomatal number : It is the average number of stomata per square mm of the epidermis of the leaf. Procedure: Clear the piece of the leaf (middle part) by boiling with chloral hydrate solution or alternatively with chlorinated soda. Peel out the lower and upper epidermis separately by means of forceps. Keep it on slide and mount in glycerin water. Arrange a camera lucida and drawing board for making the drawings to scale. Draw a square of 1mm by means of stage micrometer. Place the slide with cleared leaf (epidermis) on a stage. Trace the epidermal cell and stomata. Count the number of stomata present in the area of 1 sq mm. Include the cell if at least half of its area lies within the square. Record the result for each of the ten fields and calculate the average number of stomata per sq mm.   Number of stomata per sq mm Upper surface Lower surface Cassia auriculata 100-200 130-260 Atropa belladona

Lassar' s paste

Image
PASTES  Pastes are semisolid dosage forms that contain one or more drug substances intended for topical application. Synonym : Zinc and Salicylic acid paste BP 1988      Theory : Lassar's paste is named after scientist Oskar Lassar, he developed it for treatment of eczema. Zinc oxide works by forming a barrier on top of the skin that protects the area from moisture and irritants. Starch enhances viscosity. This medication is also used treat and prevent diaper rash and other minor skin irritation, burns, cuts, scrapes. THE LASSAR'S PASTE      SR     NO. INGREDIENTS     QTY ROLE 1 Zinc oxide 240g     Astringent 2 Salicylic acid 20g    Keratolytic agent 3 White soft  paraffin 500g      Emollient 4 Starch 240g     Absorbs moisture   Procedure:  1. The white soft paraffin was melted by warming

White Liniment

Image
LINIMENT   Liniment (from the Latin linere, to anoint), or embrocation, is a medicated topical preparation for application to the skin.  Sometimes called a heat rub, liniments may be water-like in viscosity or formulated as a lotion or balm and are usually rubbed in to allow for penetration of the active ingredients.  Liniments are solution or mixture of various substances in oil,alcoholic solution of soap or emulsion and may contain suitable antimicrobial preservatives.  They are for EXTERNAL USE ONLY .  General uses of liniment   Antipruritic,astringents,emollients,analgesics,rubefecient,counterirritant There are two types of Liniments:  Alcoholic liniments  Oleaginous liniments.  Liniments with an alcoholic or hydroalcoholic   vehicle are useful when rubefacient,   counterirritant, or penetrating action is   desired. Oleaginous liniments are employed   primarily when massage is desired. By their   nature, oleaginous liniments are less irrita
