    Exsiccated Sodium Phosphate

    This document describes an experiment to prepare exsiccated sodium phosphate through a process of exsiccation. The procedure involves allowing sodium phosphate heptahydrate crystals to effloresce at 25-30 degrees Celsius for several days, then drying further in an oven at 110 degrees Celsius until the salt ceases to lose weight. The prepared exsiccated sodium phosphate is then powdered, sifted and stored. The main uses are to obtain an anhydrous product for medicaments or reduce the bulk/weight of drugs to aid administration. Sodium phosphate itself is principally used for its laxative properties by drawing water into the intestines to stimulate bowel movement.

    EXSICCATED

    SODIUM
    PHOSPHATE
    EXPERIMENT NO. 6
    OBJECTIVE:
    At the end of the experiment, student should know how to:
     Perform the process of exsiccation
     Prepare exsiccated Sodium phosphate and identify its
    uses
    MATERIALS:
    • Laboratory set of apparatus

    • Oven

    • Sieve
    REAGENT:
    • Sodium phosphate heptahydrate
    CHEMICAL FORMULA:
    H14Na3O11P
    PROCEDURE
    Allow the 5 grams of crystal to effloresce
    for several days in warm air at
    temperature of from 25 degrees Celsius
    to 30 degree Celsius. The drying is
    continued in an oven at temperature of
    110 degrees Celsius. When the salt
    ceases to lose its weight, it is powdered,
    sifted and stored in a well tight
    container
    QUESTIONS FOR RESEARCH:
    WHAT IS THE SYNONYM OF THE PREPARATION:
    dehydrate.

    evaporate.

    parch.

    dry out.
    dry up.
    QUESTIONS FOR RESEARCH:
    DEFINE EXSICCATION
    Is the process of removing the water of
    crystallization from the hydrated crystalline
    substance by heating and making them less
    hydrous or anhydrous.
    QUESTIONS FOR RESEARCH:
    WHY IS HIGH TEMPERATURE TO BE AVOIDED
    AT THE BEGINNING OF EXSICCATION?
    a high temperature at the beginning is avoided because it
    causes the salt to dissolve in its own water of hydration
    and it is then difficult to expel traces of water from the
    hard, caked residue left upon the evaporation of this
    solution
    QUESTIONS FOR RESEARCH:
    WHAT IS THE MAIN USE OF THE PREPARATION
     To get an anhydrous product required in the
    formulation of a certain medicament
    It is also carried out to reduce the bulk and weight of a
    certain drug so that they can be easily administered.
    QUESTIONS FOR RESEARCH:
    WHATIS THE MAIN USE OF SODIUM
    PHOSPAHTE?
    It is used principally for its laxative properties.
    QUESTIONS FOR RESEARCH:
    EXPLAIN THE MECHANISM OF ACTION
    OF SALINE LAXATIVE
    Draw large amounts of water from the body into the
    intestines, which in turn increases the pressure on the
    intestinal walls and stimulates the movement of bowel
    contents.
