Qualitative Analysis of
Inorganic and Organic
Drugs
To have therapeutic effectiveness, a drug must be pure. Identification tests are
performed to determine the quality of a drug for its safe use. These tests for
inorganic and organic drugs are based, generally, on physical evaluation and
chemical reactions of an anion or a cation present in a molecule.
Identification tests of some inorganic and organic drugs feasible in the
laboratory are presented in this chapter.

ammonium chloride
