Pharmaceutical aids and neccesities Flashcards
an official white powder having an alkaline and bitter taste
Calcium hydroxide
is manufactured from lime or calcium hydroxide, through the addition of water in limited amounts.
calcium hydroxide
avid absorption of water by oxide, accompanied by the evolution of much heat
calcium hydroxide
clear, colorless, liquid having an alkaline taste and is alkaline in litmus
calcium hydroxide
Used medicinally as a fluid electrolyte and as a topical astringent
Calcium hydroxide
a white or nearly white fused masses, small pellets, flakes or sticks that have a crystalline fracture
Potassium hydroxide
a very strong base having a caustic or corrosive effect on tissues
Potassium hydroxide
used as a caustic principally in veterinary practice
Potassium hydroxide
Caustic soda, soda lye
Sodium hydroxide NF
Occurs in dry, hard, white stocks, in large fused, opaque, white stone-like masses having a dense crystalline fracture
Sodium hydroxide NF
Highly ionized in solution making it one of the strongest base available
Potassium hydroxide
reacts with salts of all metals in solution precipitating almost all of them except those of alkali metals and ammonium as the insoluble metal hydroxides
sodium hydroxide
a very strong base capable of damaging tissues
sodium hydroxides
less deliquescent, probably milder and cheaper.
Sodium hydroxide
Monohydrated sodium carbonate
Sodium carbonate
is official as a monohydrate is a colorless crystal or white crystalline powder
Sodium carbonate
Sodium carbonate exists in three well-characterized hydrates in addition to the anhydrous form
Monohydrate
Heptahydrate
Decahydrate
almost all of the commercial supply of sodium carbonate is made by the _______
Solvay process
should not be given internally because of its marked alkalinity and irritating properties
Sodium carbonate
used for its basicity in pharmaceutical preparations where it will form sodium salts of acidic drugs
Sodium carbonate
