Unit I – Redox Titrations Details

Pharmaceutical Analysis I – BPharma 1st Semester (AKTU & PCI Syllabus)

At FirstHope, we offer precise, exam-oriented notes aligned with the PCI-approved B Pharma syllabus. Unit I of Pharmaceutical Analysis introduces key concepts like concentration methods, standard solutions, and analytical errors. Therefore, a strong grasp of this unit is vital for semester success and exams like GPAT and NIPER.

Summary in Points:

• Based on oxidation and reduction reactions, involving electron transfer.
• Covers basic concepts of redox reactions in analytical chemistry.
• Explains types of redox titrations with principles and pharmaceutical applications.
• Includes Cerimetry – using ceric salts as oxidizing agents.
• Iodimetry and Iodometry – titrations involving iodine as titrant or product.
• Bromatometry – using bromine or bromate for oxidation reactions.
• Dichrometry – involves potassium dichromate in redox reactions.
• Titration with potassium iodate – used for analyzing reducing agents.
