Methodical instruction

for the students of pharmaceutical faculty

LESSON 2 (practical – 6 hours)

 

THEME: Refractometry and polarimetry: a theory, practical application, metrology descriptions.

AIM: To familiarize with the physical methods of analysis. To learn classification methods of analysis and classification of physical methods of analysis, theoretical bases of refractometry and polarimetry, learn  to determine content of substances medications by the method of refractometry and polarimetry.

 

PROFESSIONAL MOTIVATION OF STUDENTS

Large advantage of instrumental: physical and physical and chemical methods of analysis – expression, high sensitivity and in many cases high selectivity. In this connection they are all wider inculcated in practice of pharmaceutical analysis. The large section of physical methods of analysis is optical methods. Refraction of light and rotation of plane polarization is optical properties of the systems, which are closely related to chemical composition.

METHOD OF IMPLEMENTATION OF PRACTICAL WORK

 

Work 1. Determination the concentration  of glucose in  the water solution.

         In the flasks  of 50 ml place exact  mass of glucose  1,25; 2,50; 3,75; 5,00; 6,25 g,  dissolve in the distilled water, lead to the volume of solution water to the mark and mix.

         Measure the index of refraction of water, and then each of the prepared solutions. After the got solutions will be dependence in coordinates: an index of refraction to concentration.

         Measure the indexes of refraction of the investigated solutions and expect their concentration by the chart and calculation method, preliminary preparation 1 % solution of glucose and expecting the refractometrion factor.

Work 1. Refractometrion determination of concentration of ethanol in the alcohol-water solutions

              On the prism of refractometr is inflicted 4-5 drops of alcohol-water solution at once measure the index of refraction and determine after tables the concentration of alcohol in the investigated solution.
