Use of freezing point data in isotonicity calculations
Freezing point data (∆Tf) can be used in isotonicity calculations when the agent has a tonicic effect and does not penetrate the biologic membranes in
question (e.g., red blood cells). As stated previously, the freezing point of both blood and lacrimal fluid is −0.52°C. Thus, a pharmaceutical solution that has a freezing point of −0.52°C is considered isotonic.
Representative data on freezing point depression by medicinal and pharmaceutical substances are presented in Table 11.3. Although these data are for solution strengths of 1%, data for other solution strengths and for many additional agents may be found in physical pharmacy textbooks and in the literature.
TABLE 11.3 FREEZING POINT DATA FOR SELECT AGENTS
Freezing point depression data may be used in isotonicity calculations as shown by the following.
Example calculations using freezing point data
How many milligrams each of sodium chloride and lidocaine hydrochloride are required to prepare 30 mL of a 1% solution of lidocaine hydrochloride isotonic with tears?
To make this solution isotonic, the freezing point must be lowered to
−0.52°C. From Table 11.3, it is determined that a 1% solution of lidocaine hydrochloride has a freezing point lowering of 0.063°C. Thus, sufficient sodium chloride must be added to lower the freezing point an additional
0.457°C (0.52°C − 0.063°C).
Also from Table 11.3, it is determined that a 1% solution of sodium chloride lowers the freezing point by 0.58°C. By proportion:

x = 0.79% sodium chloride needed to lower the freezing point by 0.457°C and, therefore, required to make the solution isotonic.
Thus, to make 30 mL of solution,
NOTE: Should a prescription call for more than one medicinal and/or pharmaceutic ingredient, the sum of the freezing points is subtracted from the required value in determining the additional lowering required by the agent used to provide isotonicity.
CALCULATIONS CAPSULE
Isotonicity
To calculate the “equivalent tonic effect” to sodium chloride represented by an ingredient in a preparation, multiply its weight by its E-value:
To make a solution isotonic, calculate and ensure the quantity of sodium chloride and/or the equivalent tonic effect of all other ingredients to total
0.9% w/v in the preparation:
To make an isotonic solution from a drug substance, add sufficient water by the equation:
This solution may then be made to any volume with isotonic sodium chloride solution to maintain its isotonicity.
The E-value can be derived from the same equation, given the grams of drug substance and the milliliters of water required to make an isotonic solution.

Buffers and Buffer Solutions
When a minute amount of hydrochloric acid is added to pure water, a significant increase in hydrogen-ion concentration occurs immediately. In a similar manner, when a minute amount of sodium hydroxide is added to pure water, it causes a correspondingly large increase in the hydroxide-ion concentration. These changes take place because water alone cannot neutralize even traces of acid or base; that is, it has no ability to resist changes in hydrogen-ion concentration or pH. A solution of a neutral salt, such as sodium chloride, also lacks this ability. Therefore, it is said to be unbuffered.
The presence of certain substances or combinations of substances in aqueous solution imparts to the system the ability to maintain a desired pH at a relatively constant level, even with the addition of materials that may be expected to change the hydrogen-ion concentration. These substances or combinations of substances are called buffers, and solutions of them are called buffer solutions. By definition, then, a buffer solution is a system, usually an aqueous solution, that possesses the property of resisting changes in pH with the addition of small amounts of an acid or base.
Buffers are used to establish and maintain an ion activity within rather narrow limits. In pharmacy, the most common buffer systems are used in (i) the preparation of such dosage forms as injections and ophthalmic solutions, which are placed directly into pH-sensitive body fluids; (ii) the manufacture of formulations in which the pH must be maintained at a relatively constant level to ensure maximum product stability; and (iii) pharmaceutical tests and assays requiring adjustment to or maintenance of a specific pH for analytic purposes.
A buffer solution is usually composed of a weak acid and a salt of the acid, such as acetic acid and sodium acetate, or a weak base and a salt of the base, such as ammonium hydroxide and ammonium chloride. Typical buffer systems that may be used in pharmaceutical formulations include the following pairs: acetic acid and sodium acetate, boric acid and sodium borate, and sodium phosphate monobasic and sodium phosphate dibasic. Formulas for standard buffer solutions for pharmaceutical analysis are given
in the United States Pharmacopeia.

In the selection of a buffer system, due consideration must be given to the dissociation constant of the weak acid or base to ensure maximum buffer capacity. This dissociation constant, in the case of an acid, is a measure of the strength of the acid; the more readily the acid dissociates, the higher its dissociation constant and the stronger the acid. Selected dissociation constants, or Ka values, are given in Table 11.4.
TABLE 11.4 DISSOCIATION CONSTANTS OF SOME WEAK ACIDS AT 25°C
The dissociation constant, or Ka value, of a weak acid is given by the equation:
Because the numeric values of most dissociation constants are small numbers and may vary over many powers of 10, it is more convenient to express them as negative logarithms:
When equation is expressed in logarithmic form, it is written:

and because pH = −log [H+]:
Buffer equation
The equation just derived is the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for weak acids, commonly known as the buffer equation.
Similarly, the dissociation constant, or Kb value, of a weak base is given by the equation:
and the buffer equation for weak bases, which is derived from this relationship, may be expressed as:
The buffer equation is useful for calculating (1) the pH of a buffer system if its composition is known and (2) the molar ratio of the components of a buffer system required to give a solution of a desired pH. The equation can also be used to calculate the change in pH of a buffered solution with the addition of a given amount of acid or base.
pKa Value of a Weak Acid with Known Dissociation Constant
Calculating the pKa value of a weak acid, given its dissociation constant, Ka:
The dissociation constant of acetic acid is 1.75 × 10−5 at 25°C. Calculate its pKa value.
pH Value of a Salt/Acid Buffer System
Calculating the pH value:
What is the pH of a buffer solution prepared with 0.05 M sodium borate and 0.005 M boric acid? The pKa value of boric acid is 9.24 at 25°C.
Note that the ratio of the components of the buffer solution is given in molar concentrations.
Using the buffer equation for weak acids:
pH Value of a Base/Salt Buffer System
Calculating the pH value:
What is the pH of a buffer solution prepared with 0.05 M ammonia and
0.05 M ammonium chloride? The Kb value of ammonia is 1.80 × 10−5 at
25°C.
Using the buffer equation for weak bases:
Because the Kw value for water is 1014 at 25°C, pKw = 14.
Molar Ratio of Salt/Acid for a Buffer System of Desired pH
Calculating the molar ratio of salt/acid required to prepare a buffer system with a desired pH value:
What molar ratio of salt/acid is required to prepare a sodium acetate– acetic acid buffer solution with a pH of 5.76? The pKa value of acetic acid
is 4.76 at 25°C.
Using the buffer equation:

Quantity of Components in a Buffer Solution to Yield a Specific Volume
Calculating the amounts of the components of a buffer solution required to prepare a desired volume, given the molar ratio of the components and the total buffer concentration:
The molar ratio of sodium acetate to acetic acid in a buffer solution with a pH of 5.76 is 10:1. Assuming the total buffer concentration is 0.022 mol/L, how many grams of sodium acetate (m.w. 82) and how many grams of acetic acid (m.w. 60) should be used in preparing a liter of the solution?
Because the molar ratio of sodium acetate to acetic acid is 10:1,
If the total buffer concentration = 0.022 mol/L,
The efficiency of buffer solutions—that is, their specific ability to resist changes in pH—is measured in terms of buffer capacity: the smaller the pH change with the addition of a given amount of acid or base, the greater the buffer capacity of the system. Among other factors, the buffer capacity of a system depends on (1) the relative concentration of the buffer components and (2) the ratio of the components. For example, a 0.5-M acetate buffer at a pH of 4.76 would have a higher buffer capacity than a 0.05-M buffer.
If a strong base such as sodium hydroxide is added to a buffer system consisting of sodium acetate and acetic acid, the base is neutralized by the acetic acid forming more sodium acetate, and the resulting increase in pH is slight. Actually, the addition of the base increases the concentration of sodium acetate and decreases by an equal amount the concentration of acetic acid. In a similar manner, the addition of a strong acid to a buffer

system consisting of a weak base and its salt would produce only a small decrease in pH.
Change in pH with Addition of an Acid or Base
Calculating the change in pH of a buffer solution with the addition of a given amount of acid or base:
Calculate the change in pH after adding 0.04 mol of sodium hydroxide to a liter of a buffer solution containing 0.2 M concentrations each of sodium acetate and acetic acid. The pKa value of acetic acid is 4.76 at
25°C.
The pH of the buffer solution is calculated by using the buffer equation as follows:
The addition of 0.04 mol of sodium hydroxide converts 0.04 mol of acetic acid to 0.04 mol of sodium acetate. Consequently, the concentration of acetic acid is decreased and the concentration of sodium acetate is increased by equal amounts, according to the following equation:
Because the pH before the addition of the sodium hydroxide was 4.76, the change in pH = 4.94 − 4.76 = 0.18 unit.
