Pharmacology is the scientific discipline that focuses on the study of drugs and their effects on living organisms. It plays a crucial role in the field of medicine, as it encompasses the study of how drugs interact with biological systems, the mechanisms of drug action, and their therapeutic and toxic …
Gravimetric Analysis
Gravimetric analysis is a precise and accurate quantitative method in analytical chemistry that determines the amount or concentration of a substance through mass measurements. It relies on the fundamental principle of the law of conservation of mass, which asserts that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. …
Redox Titration
Redox titration is an analytical method that measures the volume of a titrant solution needed to fully react with a chemical substance (the analyte) in a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction, determining its concentration. This technique relies on the exchange of electrons between reactants and finds extensive use in analytical chemistry. Here’s …
Complexometric Titration
Complexometric titration is an analytical method that determines the concentration of metal ions in a solution by creating stable complexes between the metal ions and a complexing agent, known as a titrant. This method is particularly useful for the determination of metal ions that have a tendency to form complex …
Precipitation Titration
In precipitation titration, chemists employ a classical analytical method to determine the concentration of an analyte (typically an ion or compound) in a solution by initiating a chemical reaction that produces a solid precipitate. They then quantitatively analyze this precipitate to ascertain the concentration of the analyte. Precipitation titration is …
Non-Aqueous Titration
Non-aqueous titration is a type of titration that takes place in a solvent other than water. Although most titrations occur in aqueous solutions, non-aqueous titration offers unique advantages and finds use in specific applications. Here’s a comprehensive overview of non-aqueous titration: 1. Solvents Used in Non-Aqueous Titration Non-aqueous titration can …
Volumetric analysis
Volumetric analysis is a quantitative chemical analysis method that involves measuring the volume of a solution of known concentration required to react with a sample of interest. In chemistry and analytical laboratories, researchers widely employ this technique to determine the concentration of various substances, including acids, bases, and other chemical …
