Solution
1. Association of solute in one of the solvents: Consider the distribution of
benzoic acid between benzene and acidified water phase. It forms
dimer in benzene but remains as monomer in acidified water.
Therefore, the distribution law mentioned as in Equation (1) can-
not be used for the determination of partition coefficient. Let c
1
be its concentration in water and c
2
be its total concentration in
benzene. Applying law of chemical equilibrium between the sim-

2. Dissociation of solute in one of the solvents: Consider distribution of benzoic
acid in water and peanut oil. In this case benzoic acid will dissociate in
water depending upon pH and dissociation according to the equation
(15)
Let C
o
be the total concentration of benzoic acid in organic phase and can
be taken equal to [HA]
o
the monomer concentration in the organic phase.
The distribution is expressed as

C

centration of the simple benzoic acid molecules in the organic phase and
[HA]

is molar concentration of the undissociate acid molecules in the
water phase. But the total concentration of acid in water phase is different
because benzoic acid also exists in dissociated form in water. Therefore

The distribution coefficient of benzoic acid in water and peanut oil
depends on two equilibria—the distribution of the undissociated acid
between the immiscible phases as expressed by Equation (18) and the spe-
cies distribution of the acid in the aqueous phases which depends upon
hydrogen ion concentration and the dissociation constant K

of acid. Sup-
pose a is the degree of dissociation of the solute (X) in aqueous phase.

Application The concept of partition coefficient is useful in cosmetic for-
mulations, since it is a measure of the ability of a material to penetrate the hair
and skin. Partition coefficient is also the scientific principle used in liquid
liquid chromatographic separations. Octanolwater partition coefficient logP
is used in QSAR studies and rational drug design as a measure of molecular
hydrophobicity. Hydrophobicity affects drug absorption, bioavailability, hydro-
phobic drugreceptor interactions, metabolism of molecules, as well as their
toxicity. LogP has become also a key parameter in studies of the environmental
fate of chemicals.

14. Record concordant reading for flask 1 and repeat the procedure for flasks 2
and 3.
15. Now pipette out 10 mL of organic layer in a 100 mL conical flask contain-

Chemical Kinetics
Chemical kinetics is the study of the rates of chemical reactions and the
factors that influence the rates. It is a process related to various fundamentals
that are involved in pharmaceutical development of drugs to dosage forms. It is
essential to study the stability of the drug formulations, their shelf life and other
conditions related to the development of various dosage forms like dissolution
rate of tablets, incompatibility of substances with each other, etc.
9.1 Rate of Reaction
Rate of reaction is the velocity with which a reactant or reactants undergo
chemical change. The rate, velocity or speed of a reaction is given by the expres-
sion dc/dt, where dc is the increase or the decrease of concentration over an
infinitesimal time interval dt. Chemical reaction takes place through collision
between molecules of reactants. A chemical reaction involves breaking of bonds
in reacting species and formation of new bonds in product. Since the number
and the nature of bonds vary in different substances, the rates of reactions also
vary. Ionic reactions are almost instantaneous, e.g. precipitation of AgCl takes
4
-10
s
because no bonds are to be broken or formed.
According to the law of mass action, the rate of a chemical reaction is propor-
tional to the product of the molar concentration of the reactant each raised to a
power usually equal to the number of molecules undergoing reaction.

9.2 Molecularity
Molecularity is the number of molecules involved in the steps leading to the
chemical reaction. It is defined as the number of molecules of reactants taking
part in a chemical reaction. It is a theoretical value derived from the mechanism
of reaction. Molecularity can be neither zero nor fractional. For most of the
reactions, molecularity is less than 3.
