In British Pharmacopoeia (BP) assay for content of active ingredient, 20 tablets
(each stated to contain 50 mg of active ingredient) of total weight 6.5142g were
powdered. A sample of the powdered tablets of weight 0.3460g was extracted
with 0.1M NaOH, the extract filtered, and the filtrate made up to 100 cm3 with
0.1 M NaOH. A dilution ( 1 in 100 ) with 0.1M NaOH gave an absorbency value
of 0.345 at 256 nm using 1 cm cells. Given that the A (1%, 1cm) is 658 at 257 nm
in 0.1M NaOH. Calculate the percentage of the stated amount of active
ingredient per tablet

The percentage of the stated amount of active ingredient per tablet is = 15.35%

Calculation of percentage composition of active ingredient

Each tablet of the drug for assay contains= 50 mg of active ingredient.

The mass of the 20 tablets selected= 6.5142g

Therefore the mass of one tablet= X

Make X the subject of formula,

X = 6.5142/20

X= 0.32571g

Convert the 0.32571gram to miligram by multiplying by 1000 which is = 325.71mg

Therefore percentage of the stated amount of active ingredient per tablet is = 50/325.71 × 100/1

= 5000/325.71

= 15.35%
