New medicinal and physical chemistry teaching resources

By Education in Chemistry and Alexandra Kersting2012-09-01T00:00:00

The RSC has published a new set of resources that investigates the physical chemistry of medicines

Challenging Medicine comprises 50 resources with practical activities, PowerPoint slides and handouts.

The resources are grouped into themes of Body Chemistry, Making Medicines, Analysing Medicines and Physiochemical Properties. Experiments include the colorimetric analysis of aspirin, the manufacture and analysis of milk of magnesia and an investigation into the rate of permeation of paracetamol through cellulose tubing. The worksheets can be used individually or together as part of a theme of work.

Thanks for using Education in Chemistry. You can view one Education in Chemistry article per month as a visitor.
