ion pair formation results in? - Answer burying of charges
what is the interaction between a metal atom or ion and another species called? -

Answer chemical
which types of solubilization methods use a means of entrapment?
a) complexation
b) micellar
c) hydrotrophy
d) a and b
e) all of the above - Answer *d) a and b
which of the following expresses the number of moles of solute in 1 kg of solvent?
a) molarity (M)
b) molality (m)
, c) normality (N)
d) mole fraction - Answer *b) molality (m)
a is incorrect because molarity expresses the number of moles of solute in 1 liter of
SOLUTION
c is wrong because it expresses the number of equivalents of solute in 1 liter of solution
d is wrong because it expresses the ratio of moles of constituent to total moles
driving force in drug movement in aqueous diffusion model:
a) active transport
b) facilitated transport
c) concentration gradient
d) all of the above - Answer *c) concentration gradient
which are most likely to diffuse across membranes:
a, b, and c are all hydrophilic and are not as likely to cross the membrane since
membrane permeability favors more lipophilic drugs
which equation describes change in concentration with time at a specific location by
