Your pharmaceutical analysis company has been contacted by an
important client and asked to analyse a batch containing silver nitrate (AgNO3)
solution for topical use. The description of your brief states that you are
supposed to analyse the API in these solutions following standard quality
assurance guidelines.
Typical analysis methods used for quality purposes are based on
titration reactions. A certain amount of solution is diluted and treated with
nitric acid and ammonium iron(III) sulfate. The solution is then titrated with
ammonium thiocyanate [30].
(a)
Research the type of titration described.
Describe the chemical structure of any reagents involved in the analysis.
(b)
Formulate the relevant chemical equations.
What is the role of ammonium iron(III) sulfate?
(c)
The package states that each the solution
contains 10% silver nitrate. A volume containing 50 mg of silver nitrate is
diluted with water and 2 ml of nitric acid and 2 ml of ammonium iron(III)
sulfate solution are added. The solution is then titrated with 0.02 M ammonium
thiocyanate solution until a red colour appears.
(d)
For each titration, the following volume of
ammonium thiocyanate solution has been used:
14.5 ml 14.8 ml 15.0 ml
(e)
Calculate the amount of AgNO3
present in your sample. Express your answer in grams and moles.
(e)
Critically discuss your result in context with
the stated value for the API.
(f)
Research the typically accepted error margins.
Your pharmaceutical analysis company has been contacted by an
important client and asked to analyse a batch of tablets containing dried
ferrous sulfate (FeSO4) tablets. The description of your brief
states that you are supposed to analyse the API in these tablets following
standard quality assurance guidelines.
Typical analysis methods used for quality purposes are based on
titration reactions. A certain amount of ferrous sulfate tablets are crushed
and dissolved. The solution is then titrated with cerium(IV)sulfate under
acidic conditions using ferroin as the indicator British Pharmacopoeia.
(a)
Research the type of titration described.
Describe the chemical structure of any reagents involved in the analysis.
(b)
Formulate the relevant chemical equations.
(c)
The package states that each tablet contains
200 mg ferrous sulfate. The weight of 20 tablets has been determined to be 6.24
g. A certain amount of powder containing 0.5 g of dried ferrous sulfate is
dissolved in water and sulfuric acid, and ferroin is added as an indicator. The
solution is then titrated with 0.1 M ammonium cerium(IV)sulfate solution [30].
For each titration, the following volume of
ammonium cerium(IV)sulfate solution has been used:
32.5 ml 33.3 ml 32.9 ml
Calculate the amount of FeSO4 present in your sample.
Express your answer in grams and moles.
(d)
Critically discuss your result in context with
the stated value for the API.
(e)
Research the typically accepted error margins.
Zinc sulfate solution has been traditionally used as an
astringent and a mild antiseptic. Nowadays, its use is limited. Your
pharmaceutical analysis company has been contacted by an important client and
asked to analyse a batch of eye drops containing zinc sulfate (ZnSO4).
The description of your brief states that you are supposed to analyse the API
in these tablets following standard quality assurance guidelines.
Typical analysis methods used for quality purposes are based on
titration reactions. A certain volume of the eye drops is diluted and typically
titrated with ammonium edetate using morbant black as indicator [30].
(a)
Research the type of titration described.
Describe the chemical structure of any reagents involved in the analysis. You
might want to familiarise yourself with the concept of chelation (see Chapter
11).
(b)
Formulate the relevant chemical equations.
(c)
The package states that each sterile solution
contains 0.25% w/v of zinc sulfate heptahydrate. For the titration, 5 ml of the
zinc sulfate solution is diluted and an ammonia buffer is added to achieve pH
10.9. This solution is titrated with 0.01 M disodium edetate and mordant black
as indicator [30].
For each titration, the following volume of
edetate solution has been used:
5.0 ml 4.6 ml 4.3 ml
Calculate the amount of ZnSO4 present in your sample.
Express your answer in grams and moles.
(d)
Critically discuss your result in context with
the stated value for the API.
(e)
Research the typically accepted error margins.
