The binders are neutral substances that are employed to keep tablet intact during packaging, shipping and being swallowed. Examples of binder are silica gel, cellulose, starch etc.
And the remaining aspirin, acetaminophen and caffeine can be classified as strong acid, weak acid and base, respectively by merely observing functional groups they possess.
Explanation:
question
Acetominophen , Aspirin, Binder, ,
Identify the strong organic acid, weak organic acid, base and neutral substance isolated in these experiments.
The strong organic acid is __________________________________.
The weak organic acid is __________________________________.
The organic base is __________________________________.
The neutral substance is __________________________________
explanation
Aspirin contains -COOH making it strong acid than phenol compound
Acetominophen contains phenolic -OH, making it weak organic acid
Caffeine contains Nitrogen atoms whch can donate lonepair of H⁺ , this makes it basic
