Unit I – Complexometric Titrations, Gravimetry Analysis 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.

Conductometry: Introduces the measurement of a solution’s conductivity using a conductivity cell. It covers conductometric titrations, useful in acid-base and precipitation reactions, and highlights various pharmaceutical applications.

Potentiometry: Focuses on electrochemical cells and the construction and function of reference electrodes (standard hydrogen, silver chloride, calomel) and indicator electrodes (metal, glass). It also explains how to determine the end point in potentiometric titrations and their analytical uses.

Polarography: Describes the principle based on the Ilkovic equation. It explains the working of the dropping mercury electrode (DME) and rotating platinum electrode (RPE). This method is applied in identifying and quantifying analytes through electrochemical behavior.
