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. ;)
