Q

Evaporation Def.

A

Loss of liquid from top of water

20
Q

How to stop gas from degrading drug

A

Specialised packaging eg thicker, fortified with certin materials

21
Q

Boiling Def.

A

Loss of liquid throughout substance

22
Q

Crystalline Form (def.)

A

Repeats of internal structure (patterns exist)

23
Q

Amorphous Form (Def.)

A

Molecule arrangement with no pattern

24
Q

Bonding in a Molecular Crystal

A

Solid H-bonding. Difficult to break (requires high energy)

25
Q

Ionic Crystal Bonds

A

Ionic bonds. Water is highly efficient at separating (H+ for anions, OH- for cations)

26
Q

Metal Crystal Bonds

A

Covalent. Not soluble in water

27
Q

Covalent crystal bond

A

Covalent. Not soluble in water

28
Q

Relationship between bond strength, solubility and melting point

A

Stronger bonds = lower solubility = higher melting/boiling point

29
Q

How water breaks down a substance

A

Covalent: breaking substance bonds and forming bonds with substance. Ionic: H+ takes anions, OH- takes cations

30
Q

What determines whether something is soluble in water

A

polarity

31
Q

Relationship between vapour pressure and evaporation

A

The higher the vapour pressure = the higher propensity to evaporate

32
Q

Vapour Def.

A

Gaseous substance form that concurrently exists as a liquid/solid (as it’s below critical temp)

33
Q

Meter Dose Inhaler Mechanics

A

High vapour pressure. As actuator opens the gas in the metering valve expands out. This forms a vacumn pulling out liquid dosage form sending out a high velocity. This causes liquid to be disperesed as fine particles (correct size for lungs

34
Q

Propellants Def. and examples

A

Liquid with a high vapour pressure Eg CFCs or hydrofluoroalkane

35
Q

Vapour Applications

A

Fragrance (excipient), Decongestant or cough suppressor (therapeutic)

36
Q

Aspirin Physical Desc

A

transparent/ white crystalline powder. Odourless, bitter tasting. Hydrolysed in moist air giving acetic acid smell

37
Q

NaCl Physical Desc

A

Transparent/white crystalline powder. Salty taste. May contain CaCl2 or MgCl2 which absorb moisture

38
Q

Ethanol Physical Desc.

A

Colourless, mobile, volatile liquid. Vinous odour

39
Q

Ferrous \Sulphate Def.

A

Bluish-green monoclinic (parallelogram prism) crystals/granuels. Odourless witth metallic taste. Oxidises in moist air to foem brownish-yellow coat

40
Q

Glucose Physical Desc.

A

White powder. Sweet taste. Water absorbant

41
Q

Paracetamol Physical Desc

A

Colourless crystalline powder. Bitter taste

42
Q

Caffeine Physical Desc

A

44
Q

Ibuprofen Physical Desc

A

Colourless, stable crystalline solid. Characteristic odour

45
Q

Castor Oil Physical Desc

A
