AIM: Preparation of Ferrous Sulphate  REFERENCES 1. Inorganic medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry. Block, Roche, Soine, Wilson.  2. Indian Pharmacopoeia, 1996, 2016.  3. Available at: www.crscientific.com/ferroussulfate.html. Theory: Iron is a transitional element in periodic table. Iron compounds are used in medicine as an important constituent and the ores are widely distributed which includes haematite Fe2O3, limonite 2Fe2O3.3H O, magnetic iron are Fe3O4. The earth’s core consists largely of iron. Iron shows two oxidation states – Ferrous and Ferric. Ferrous sulphate is otherwise known as “green vitriol” and used as a reducing agent in chemistry. For the preparation with sulphuric acid the very first step is to determine the amount of impurity as sulphuric acid tolerable by the crystals which may result in chemical burns on touching if the amount of sulphuric acid content will be higher. The lab temperature has to be kept low or below 25°C. In the experiment we can ...

 AIM: To prepare and submit Boric acid.   REFERENCE 1.         Singh H.R., Kapoor V.K. “Practical Pharmaceutical chemistry”, Vallabh Prakashan,  Ed I st , 2008, pp 23-24. 2.         Chatwal G.R, “Pharmaceutical chemistry inorganic” Himalaya publishing house, Ed 5 th , 2010, pp 127-128.   REQUIREMENTS Chemical required: Borax (Na 2 B 4 O 7 ) , Dilute sulphuric acid (H 2 SO 4 )   Apparatus required: Beaker, Pipette, Measuring cylinder, glass rod, funnel.   THEORY Synonyms: Boro flax, Boracic acid Chemical formula : H3BO3 Molecular weight : 61.83 Boric acid is a weak acid. It is a local anti-infective agent possessing weak bacterostatic and fungistatic properties. Anti-infective agent are the compound which reduce or prevent infection from the microbes like bacteria, fungi and protozoa. Na 2 B 4 O 7 + H 2 SO 4 + 5...

Aim:  Determination of iodine (as KI) – Titration method  Reagents  1. Methyl orange indicator – Dissolve 0.50 g of methyl orange in water and dilute to one litre.  2. Dilute sulphuric acid – approximately 2 N.  3. Bromine water – Saturated aqueous solution. Determine the approximate concentration (mg/ml) by adding (from a burette) a measured volume to a flask containing 5 ml of 10 per cent potassium iodide solution, adding 5 ml of dilute sulphuric acid and titrating the liberated iodine with 0.1 N sodium thiosulphate solution.  4. Sodium sulphite solution – approximately one per cent (m/v).  5. Phenol solution – approximately 5 per cent (m/v).  6. Potassium iodide solution – approximately 10 per cent (m/v).  7. Standard sodium thiosulphate solution – 0.005 N (freshly standardized).  8. Starch solution – 1 per cent (freshly prepared) (m/v).  9. Sodium chloride solution – Dissolve 10 g of sodium chloride in water and make up the volu...
