Pharmaceutical Analysis: Methods and Quality Control
Milk of Magnesia (Magnesium Hydroxide)
This alkalinization is based on a neutralization between milk of magnesia, which is magnesium hydroxide, and auxiliary substances such as stabilizers, preservatives, and viscosity agents like carboxyl methyl cellulose.
Used as an indicator (heliantina 3.1 to 4.4)
Reference value: 7.5 – 8.5 g% Mg(OH)2
Saline Analysis (Argentometric)
The Volhard method for residual valuation is commonly used and involves two determinations:
Direct determination: Silver salts
Residual
Industrial Safety Essentials: Hazards and Prevention
Safety in Gas-Welding (Cutting)
Gas welding uses flammable gases like acetylene and oxygen. Acetylene can ignite and condense, while oxygen accelerates burning. Wear eye goggles, flameproof aprons, gloves, caps or helmets, and boots. Ensure clothing is free from oil or grease.
Environmental Safety
Ensure proper ventilation, lighting, walkways, storage, escape routes, and safety posters. Keep floors clean and dry. Fire extinguishers should be accessible, and welded jobs stored properly.

1) Robots in Hazardous Environments
Robots are especially useful for working in environments that are dangerous to humans. They don’t require air, making them suitable for space or underwater operations. Specialized robots have been designed to handle radioactive materials. Additionally, various industrial and military robots are employed in environments with poisonous gases. In many ways, robots eliminate the need for humans to work in hazardous conditions. However, human expertise is still necessary

Early Atomic Experiments
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, experiments involving electrical discharges through low-pressure gases and particle bombardment of radioactive gases and thin metal sheets revealed the divisibility of atoms and the existence of subatomic particles.
Key Discoveries:
- 1897: J.J. Thomson discovered the electron.
- 1911: Ernest Rutherford identified the atomic nucleus.
- 1932: James Chadwick discovered the neutron.

Dalton’s Atomic Theory and Molecules
Dalton
Dalton’s theory aimed to explain the experimental laws of matter and served as a precursor to modern chemistry. He built upon the theories of Democritus and revived the concept of atoms.
Atom: The smallest part of a chemical element that retains the properties of that element.
Dalton’s Atomic Theory
- Matter is made of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms.
- Atoms of the same element are identical and have the same shape, size, and mass.
- Atoms of different elements
