slide1. Acid, Base and Buffer<br>
slide2. Arrhenius Acid base theory Acid is defined as a substance which when dissolved in water gives hydrogen ions. (H +)
Examples.<br>
slide3. Base is defined as a substance which when dissolved in water gives hydroxyl ions. (OH-)
Examples.<br>
slide4. Limitations of Arrhenius Theory: 1)The definition of acid and base are only in term of aqueous solution not in term of substance.
2)The theory does not explain acidic and basic properties of substance in non-aqueous solvent.
3)The neutralization of acid and base in absence of solvent is not explained.
4)The basic substance which does not contain hydroxide ion is not explained by the theory.<br>
slide5. Lowery-Bronsted theory Acid- An acid is any substance capable of donating proton (H+) in a chemical reaction; in short acid is a proton donor.
Examples.<br>
slide6. Base- Base is any substance capable of accepting a proton (H+) in a chemical reaction; in short base is a proton acceptor.
Examples<br>
slide7. Acid and base as per Lewis theory Acid- An acid is the molecule or ion that can accept a lone pair of electrons.
e.g-
Base- Base is the molecule or ion which donates a lone pair of electrons.
e.g-<br>
slide8. Buffers The solution that resists the changes in pH value upon addition of small quantities of acids & bases are called buffer solutions.
Name of Buffers-
HCl buffer.
Acid phthalate buffer.
Neutralised phthalate buffer.
Phosphate buffer.
Alkaline borate buffer.<br>
slide9. Types of Buffer: 1. Neutral buffer: It is composed of salts of weak acid and weak base.
E.g.: Ammonium acetate.
2. Acidic buffer:
It is composed of weak acid and strong conjugate base.
E.g.: Acetic acid and sodium acetate.
3. Basic buffer:
It is composed of weak base and strong conjugate acid.
E.g.: Ammonia and Ammonium chloride.<br>
slide10. Mechanism of action of buffer When small amount of acid is added to solution containing basic buffer system, acid will react with weak base or conjugated base from buffer system and converted in to weak acids.
If small amount of base is added to solution containing acidic buffer system, base will react with weak acid and converted in to weak base.<br>
slide11. 3.Thus each component of buffer system will react with either added acid or base and resist or prevent large change in pH.
E.g. Phosphate buffer system contain
i) H2PO4- - act as a weak acid
ii) HPO4 -2 - act as a weak base<br>
slide12. 5.In non buffered solution, if small amount of HCl is added, it will ionize to hydronium ion and chloride (Cl-) resulting in remarkable lowering of pH.
6.If small amount of HCl is added to buffered solution H3O+ ion will react with weak base and converted in to weak acid.<br>
slide13. 7.If small amount of NaOH is added to non buffered solution, it will ionized to hydroxide ion (OH-) and Na+ , hence it will increase pH of preparation.
8.If small amount of NaOH is added to solution containing phosphate buffer, hydroxide ion will react with weak acid and converted in to weak base<br>
slide14. Importance of buffer in pharmacy: Stability of certain compounds-
Certain compounds are stable in specific pH.
Citric acid is used for stabilizing milk of magnesia.
Adrenaline is rapidly oxidized by dissolved oxygen to adrenochrome in an alkaline media.
Hence its pH is stabilized by using a buffer of pH range 2.5 to 3.0. Penicillin preparations are stabilized by addition of calcium carbonate, sodium citrate or aluminum hydroxide.<br>
slide15. Structural stability-
Some compounds are structurally unstable within certain pH range, usually due to auto oxidation.
Sulfonamide preparations are stabilized by NaHCO3, sodium acetate or sodium citrate.
Colour –
Colour of many natural dyes, present in fluid extracts or of certain synthetic drugs has been found to be pH dependent.
E.g. red colour of cherry & raspberry syrups is maintained at acidic pH which becomes pale yellow to nearly colourless at alkaline pH<br>
slide16. For patient comfort-
Injectables & preparations for internal or external use become irritating if their pH is different greatly from that for the particular tissues involved.
An extremely acid or alkaline pH must be avoided as it can cause tissue damage.
Optimum pH
conditions for activity of certain medicinal compounds have to be maintained.
E.g. Lower pH of sodium hypochlorite usually improves the germicidal efficiency of the preparation.<br>
slide17. In analysis
Buffers of known pH are required as standards in analytical laboratories
Eg calibration of pH meter etc.
Solubility-
Solubility of compounds is controlled by providing a medium of suitable pH.
Eg Iron salts, phosphates, borates are soluble in acidic medium but precipitate in alkaline medium.<br>
slide18. Boric acid- Synonym: Orthoboric acid.
Formula: H3BO3
Mole weight:61.83
Properties:
It is a white, colorless crystalline powder, odorless, unctuous to touch.
It has bitter, sweetish after taste
It is soluble in alcohol, freely soluble in glycerin, propylene glycol and boiling water<br>
slide19. Stable in air, on heating at 1000C it is converted in to metaboric acid,
At 1600C in to tetraboric acid,
At more than 1600C boric acid is converted in to boron trioxide.
Boric acid is very weak acid, so it cannot be titrated accurately with standard alkali. Hence glycerin is added in its titration.
Incompatibility: It is incompatible with tannins, bases.<br>
slide20. Storage of Boric acid- It should be stored in air-tight, well closed container.
Uses of Boric acid-
It has weak bacteriostatic and fungistatic action
It is used as local anti-infective drug in the form of cream, ointment and lotion.
Buffer in topical preparations.
Vehicle for ophthalmic solution.
Boric acid is useful as suppositories base.<br>
slide21. Explain why glycerin is used in the assay of boric acid. Give reactions involved. Glycerin is used in the assay of Boric Acid because; boric acid is a very weak acid which is to be,
Titrated against strong alkali like sodium hydroxide, but it does not give sharp end point.<br>
slide22. So when, glycerin is added it forms glyceroboric acid complex which acts as a strong monobasic acid and is
Strong enough to titrate against strong solution of sodium hydroxide.
