Thank you "Osang" for compiling the reports :)

Basic Pharmacokinetics

Basic Pharmacokinetics
Soraya Dhillon and Kiren Gill

Covers the recent discussion with our professor on Pharmacokinetic models (one-compartment and two-compartment model), Pharmacokinetic parameters (Elimination rate constant, Volume of distribution) and many other. It also helped me with the assignment on Rates of Reaction. Hope this helps you too :)

Determining Theoretical and Percent Yield

The latest discussion on PCHEM 131 - Pharmacy and Chemistry on Medicinal I, touched on how to determine theoretical and percent yield. 

The first step starts with balancing your equation (unless you have a balance one), then calculating the molecular mass/weight of a compound or element. Determine the LIMITING and EXCESS REAGENT and so on. I'll let the links below give you an easier view on how to calculate them.

Below are links of sources that can help in the study. Enjoy ^_^

1. Theoretical and Percent Yield
2. If you're like me, this audio visual presentation can also help Limiting Reagent and Percent Yield
3. If you've memorized the periodic table, then you won't need this link ;P Periodic Table (or a bigger one Periodic table)
4. Chemical Compound List

I've found these links easy for me to understand and having them on this blog would give me easy access to them in the future. Remember, there are more sources out there. Go goggle yourself one. ;)

Qualitative Analysis of Cations

Activity 2

1. Explain why Pb²⁺ ion, member of group I, may also be found in the group II cations. How can you remove Pb²⁺ from the cation mixtures?
2. Two of the group II cations form soluble hydroxides when ammonium hydroxide is added. What are they and how can you further separate them?
3. Why is it necessary to treat the solution containing group II cations with hydrogen peroxides?

Activity 3

1.  Among group III, which cation precipitates as sulfides and hydroxides upon addition of a base?
2. Sulfide and hydroxides of group II cations precipitate when treated with sulfuric acid. What cation precipitate out and what cations are in the supernatant?
3. Give the balance net equation of the reaction that indicates the presence of Cr⁶⁺.

Activity 4

1. Which among group IV or V forms insoluble/soluble carbonates?
2. Group IV cation is treated with ammonium carbonate, what cation is in the supernatant and the precipitate?

Activity 5

1. What is the color of the flame test for sodium and potassium?
2. Draw the flame test, labeling the luminous, non-luminous, and hottest part of the flame.
3. When doing flame test, what part of the flame will you introduce the compound?
