A quantitative approach to understanding the factors influencing the solubility of drugs is essential in the field of pharmaceutical sciences. Solubility, defined as the ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent, plays a crucial role in drug formulation, delivery, and ultimately, therapeutic efficacy. Several factors impact the solubility …
Relationship between free energy (G), enthalpy (H), and entropy (S)
The relationship between free energy (G), enthalpy (H), and entropy (S) is described by the Gibbs free energy equation: Δ G = Δ H – T Δ S Let’s break down the relationships between these thermodynamic parameters: 1. Gibbs Free Energy (G): Represents the maximum reversible work that a system …
