Salts and Hydrates Flashcards
Compounds that incorporate water molecules into their fundamental solid structure
Hydrates
Hydration of drugs
Influences the solubility, dissolution
rate, stability, and bioavailability.
ANHYDROUS
A molecule that has no water molecules attached to it.
DEHYDRATION
Process of removing water from a hydrating molecule, usually removed by heat
Nomenclature
Name of the anhydrous component + Greek prefix
specifying the number of moles of water present then the word hydrate.
A hydrate with two (2) water molecules present for every formula unit
of CaSO4.
Gypsum
When a 1.000 g sample of CuSO4* 5 H2O(s) was heated so that the waters of hydration weredriven off, the mass of the anhydrous salt remaining was found to be 0.6390 g. What is theexperimental value of the percent water of hydration?
36.10%
How to get the mass of water
lost?
The difference between the hydrate mass and anhydrate mass
This chemical is used to attract and remove moisture from air or gas, thereby keeping the products dry.
Dessicant
The process by which a substance absorbs moisture from the atmosphere until it dissolves in the absorbed water and forms a solution.
Deliquescent
Compounds that, when exposed to air turn powdery. This is due to the loss of water molecules from the surface of the solid.
Efflorescent
Ionic compound containing cation and anion, produced by reaction of acid and base
Salt
Second (2nd) most abundant intercellular cation
Magnesium
Describe hypomagnesemia.
Low level of magnesium. <1.46 mg/dL
Describe hypermagnesemia.
High level of magnesium. >2.68 mg/dL
