5 . R e la t io n a n a ly s is Your task is to analyse two sentences. The first is a statement, and the second part is an explanation or a consequence. You have to decide whether both sentences are true or not, and whether any logical connection exists between them or not. There are five possibilities (A- E), but only one is correct: A. Both the statement and the explanation or consequence are true, and a causal relation exists between them. B. Both the statement and the explanation or consequence are true, but there is no logical relation between them. C. The statement is true, but the explanation or consequence is false. D. The statement is false, but the explanation or consequence is true. E. Both the statement and the explanation or consequence are false.
396.
The primary condition for the validity of the Beer-Lambert law is that all the substance must exist in the same molecular state at different dilutions. The reason is that a deviation is observed from the linear absorbance - concentration relation as a result of association or dissociation processes.
397.
In the IR spectra of organic compounds, the absorption wavenumbers corresponding to the vibrations of C-H, N-H and O-H are high. The reason is that the atomic mass of hydrogen is small compared to those of the other atoms.
398.
The Pharmacopoeia does not prescribe light absorption measurement for identification. The reason is that the value of absorptivity is dependent on the solvent and the wavelength.
399.
A two-component mixture having overlapping UV spectra can be determined at two wavelengths. The reason is that the absorbance measured is the sum of the absorbances of the two components.
400.
In the UV spectrum of a compound containing a phenolic hydroxy group, hypsochromic and hypochromic shifts occur after alkalinization. This is why differential spectrophotometry can be applied with adjusted pH in the case of multicomponent mixtures containing a phenolic compound.
401.
In spectrophotometry used for quantitative drug analysis, background correction methods are often used. The reason is that the absorbance of other components may disturb the measurement.
402.
The three-point correction or baseline method is a type of background correction method often used in electronspectroscopy. The reason is that in the baseline method absorbance must be determined at three absorbance maxima.
98
PHARMACEUTICAL CHEMISTRY 403.
The extension of conjugation in a molecule generally results in a hypsochromic shift of the electronic (UV-VIS) spectrum. The reason is that a compound containing a more extended chromophore is excited by lower energy.
404.
In an electrophilic substitution, diazotized aromatic amines can be coupled with phenols and aromatic amines to give azo compounds, which are coloured. The reason is that their electronic systems are conjugated.
405.
Extension of the chromophoric systems of organic pharmaceuticals, i.e. an increase in the number of conjugated π-electrons (e.g. as a consequence of different reactions), will produce coloured compounds. The reason is that the conjugated π-electrons can be excited by electromagnetic radiation of lower energy than for isolated π-electrons.
406.
The sensitivity of 13C-NMR spectroscopy is 1% of the sensitivity of 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The reason is that the occurrence of the isotope 13C is only 1.1%.
407.
The signal of the methyl group in the 1H-NMR spectrum of ethanol is a triplet. The reason is that the signal splits into three according to the n+1 rule due to the neighbouring methylene group.
408.
D- and L-phenylalanine can be distinguished by their optical rotations. The reason is that the physical and chemical characteristics of diastereomers are different.
409.
Specific rotation is a characteristic of optically active compounds. The reason is that achiral compounds do not rotate the plane of a polarized light beam.
410.
In an Abbe refractometer, the refractive index of a colourless substance can be measured by using white light. The reason is that the refractive index does not depend on the wavelength in the visible region.
411.
In potentiometry, electrodes of the second kind are used as reference electrodes (e.g. the calomel electrode). The reason is that their potential is in a logarithmic relation with the activity of the substance being determined.
412.
In the argentometric - potentiometric determination of chloride ion, the reference electrode is separated from the sensing electrode and from the bulk of the solution. The reason is that the conductance is maintained with an agar-agar salt bridge.
413.
The end-point of an argentometric titration can not be indicated potentiometrically. The reason is that the silver electrode is a reference electrode which has a constant potential during an argentometric titration.
414.
In instrumental pH measurements, a combined glass electrode can be used. The reason is that in direct potentiometry there is no need for a reference electrode.
415.
The calomel electrode is an electrode of the first kind. This is why it can be used as a sensing electrode in potentiometry.
99
PHARMACEUTICAL CHEMISTRY 416.
In a thin-layer chromatographic process, the larger the elution strength of the solvent is, the higher is the Rf value. The reason is that the time spent by the substance in the solvent system increases with the elution ability of the solvent.
417.
In thin-layer chromatography, well-dissociating acids can be separated by using acidic eluents. The reason is that their affinity for the sorbent is stronger in such circumstances.
418.
In gas chromatographic examinations, the retention time can be used for the identification of the components. The reason is that the retention time is independent of the temperature of the separation column.
419.
A polar stationary phase is used for the separation of the isomers of butanol by gas chromatography. The reason is that polar compounds can be separated successfully on polar stationary phases.
420.
The retention times of methyl ethyl ether (Mr = 60) and n-propanol (Mr = 60) are equal on any stationary phase in gas chromatography. The reason is that compounds with equal molecular masses are equally volatile.
421.
Isomers of aliphatic hydrocarbons can be separated most successfully by gas chromatography on apolar stationary phases. The reason is that on apolar stationary phases (these) compounds are eluted in the sequence of their increasing boiling points.
422.
In high-performance liquid chromatography for the characterization of retention behaviour, the capacity rate (k') is used. The reason is that separation is based solely on distribution.
423.
Aliphatic alcohol homologues can be well separated by normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The reason is that the adsorbent is sensitive to changes of the number in carbon atoms in molecules.
424.
In high-performance liquid chromatography, the eluent is a mixture of water and a polar solvent when the sorbent is silica. The reason is that silica is a reasonably good adsorbent of polar compounds.
425.
In high-performance liquid chromatography, reversed-phase columns (C18) are often used. The reason is that the solvent-water ratio greatly influences the selectivity of the column.
426.
According to the Pharmacopoeia, lead and iron test solutions are used in the tests of heavy metals. The reason is that, under the given conditions, only lead and iron contamination can be detected as heavy metal impurities.
427.
In limit tests changing amounts of the sample under examination are used in each case. The reason is that the changes observed in the sample and the test solutions must be equally strong.
428.
In the limit tests official in the Pharmacopoeia, always 1 ml of test solution is used. The reason is that this amount contains the allowed impurity content of each official material.
100
PHARMACEUTICAL CHEMISTRY 429.
In the test of arsenic impurity, the arsenic must be reduced to oxidation state +3. The reason is that it can be detected with HgBr2 paper after conversion into hydrogen arsenide.
430.
In a limit test, the Pharmacopoeia prescribes a potassium thiocyanate reagent for the detection of Fe(III) ions. In this examination, Fe(II) and Fe(III) ions give red precipitates with this reagent.
431.
In the limit test for nitrate impurity, any ammonium contamination is also detected. The reason is that the ammonium ion is transformed to nitrate as a result of oxidation by the concentrated sulfuric acid reagent.
432.
Benzaldehyde impurity in Acidum benzoicum must be detected with fuchsin and sulfurous acid. The reason is that benzaldehyde is a characteristic impurity of benzoic acid.
433.
In a glacial acetic acid medium, the acidity of weak organic acids is increased. This is the reason why the direct titration of bases is disturbed by the presence of weak organic acids.
434.
In a non-aqueous medium, the determination of bases present in the form of hydrochloride salts is possible only after extraction of the base from alkaline solution with chloroform. The reason is that hydrochloric acid is a medium-strong acid in nonaqueous medium.
435.

438.
The identification of phenacetin in pulvis analgeticus (Coffeinum, Phenacetinum and Aminophenazonum) is performed by the addition of 25% nitric acid instead of concentrated nitric acid, to increase the selectivity of identification. The reason is that the disturbing effect of aminophenazone can be eliminated in this way.
439.
The lidocaine and caffeine content of Suppositorium antiemeticum can be determined by titration in non-aqueous medium. The reason is that in glacial acetic acid caffeine is sufficiently basic to be determined.
440.

450.
The distribution ratio of molecules that can be ionized is pH- dependent. The reason is that in aqueous solution ionization occurs, which is dependent on the pH and pKa values.
451.
The real distribution ratio is a pH-independent constant. The reason is that this constant refers to the concentration ratio of the non-ionized particle in the organic and water phases.
452.
The absorption of drugs of weak acid type is advantageous at the gastric pH. The reason is that they are then present mostly in non-ionized (transport) form.
453.

464.
Salicylic acid is a weaker acid than benzoic acid. The reason is that the acidity is decreased by the ortho-hydroxy group, which forms a hydrogen-bond.
465.

482.
Both atropine and cocaine give a positive Vitali reaction. The reason is that both compounds contain the tropane skeleton.
483.
Tropeins containing a quaternary N atom have no effect on the central nervous system. The reason is that, due to their poor lipophylicity, they do not penetrate to the CNS.

486.
The Chen-Kao reaction can be used for the detection of ephedrine traces in amphetamine. The reason is that ephedrine, as an amino alcohol, produces a coloration in this reaction, while amphetamine does not react.
487.

507.
The corticosteroids have reducing properties. The reason is that they are ∆4-3-ketosteroids.
508.
