Potentiometric Determination of the Antacid in the Tablets

Antacid

Potentiometric Determination of the Antacid in the Tablets


Equipment
Potentiometer = 751 GPD Titrino / Titroprocessor
Electrodes =
6.0233.100 combined pH glass electrode; input 1
6.1110.100 T sensor

Reagents
c
(HCl) = 1.0 mol/L; D0

Sample
25 mL dist. water
1 drop c(NaOH) = 0.1 mol/L
0.268 g Antacid Trigastril (or 0.2-0.4 g)

Remarks
Method to determine the efficiency of tablets against an excess of acid in the stomach. Use a TIP method for the determination: The pH is adjusted to 3 with a pretitration (AntacPre), then the sample is added and the pH kept at 3 during 30 minutes (AntacDet). The determination is carried out in a thermostated titration vessel (e.g.6.1418.220) at 37 °C. You may have to adjust the control parameters of the submethod “AntacDet“ according to your sample. The given parameters are optimized for products which release their base slowly (rate app. 100 L/min).

Calculations:

Acid cap=C70*C01/C00;3;mmol/g

acid cap = acid capacity in mmol/g
C01 = concentration of titrating agent (1 mol/L)

Answer

Acid cap = 3.218 x 1 /0.268 = 12.008 mmol/g

C00= 0.268
C01= 1
C70= 3.218

Sample preparation:
Pulverize the tablet and weigh it exactly. Rinse the powder with 20 mL of pretitrated solution (pH=3) into the titration vessel during the request “Add smpl & start“ and titrate immediately.
