#ASSAY OF CHLORPROMAZINE
Aim: To report the amount of chlorpromazine present in the given tablet/powder/solution . Apparatus : Burettes, pipettes, beakers, glass rod, funnel etc. Chemicals : Perchloric acid, acetone, mercuric acetate solution, chlorpromazine drug PHP(Potasium hydrogen Phthalate) Principle: Assay of Chlorpromazine comes under non aqueous titration. In this assay the perchloric acid reacts with acetic acid and forms acetonium ion. Chlorpromazine in acetic acid acts as a base and accept a proton from acetonium ion and forms protonated chlorpromazine and acetic acid. The addition of mercuric acetate in the non-aqueous titrimetric method is based on the principle of removing the chloride counter ion so as to prevent the interference of the halide ion released by the titrant (acetous perchloric acid). The addition of mercuric acetate (which is undissociated in acetic acid) replaces the halide ion in chlorpromazine with a...
