5. Rel at i on anal ysi s
Your task is to analyse two sentences. The first is a statement, and the second part is an
explanation or a consequence.
You have to decide whether both sentences are true or not, and whether any logical
connection exists between them or not.
There are five possibilities (A- E), but only one is correct:
A. Both the statement and the explanation or consequence are true, and a
causal relation exists between them.
B. Both the statement and the explanation or consequence are true, but there is
no logical relation between them.
C. The statement is true, but the explanation or consequence is false.
D. The statement is false, but the explanation or consequence is true.
E. Both the statement and the explanation or consequence are false.

396. The primary condition for the validity of the Beer-Lambert law is that all the substance
must exist in the same molecular state at different dilutions. The reason is that a
deviation is observed from the linear absorbance - concentration relation as a result of
association or dissociation processes.

397. In the IR spectra of organic compounds, the absorption wavenumbers corresponding to
the vibrations of C-H, N-H and O-H are high. The reason is that the atomic mass of
hydrogen is small compared to those of the other atoms.

398. The Pharmacopoeia does not prescribe light absorption measurement for identification.
The reason is that the value of absorptivity is dependent on the solvent and the
wavelength.

399. A two-component mixture having overlapping UV spectra can be determined at two
wavelengths. The reason is that the absorbance measured is the sum of the absorbances
of the two components.

400. In the UV spectrum of a compound containing a phenolic hydroxy group, hypsochromic
and hypochromic shifts occur after alkalinization. This is why differential
spectrophotometry can be applied with adjusted pH in the case of multicomponent
mixtures containing a phenolic compound.

401. In spectrophotometry used for quantitative drug analysis, background correction
methods are often used. The reason is that the absorbance of other components may
disturb the measurement.

402. The three-point correction or baseline method is a type of background correction method
often used in electronspectroscopy. The reason is that in the baseline method absorbance
must be determined at three absorbance maxima.

99

403. The extension of conjugation in a molecule generally results in a hypsochromic shift of
the electronic (UV-VIS) spectrum. The reason is that a compound containing a more
extended chromophore is excited by lower energy.

404. In an electrophilic substitution, diazotized aromatic amines can be coupled with phenols
and aromatic amines to give azo compounds, which are coloured. The reason is that
their electronic systems are conjugated.

405. Extension of the chromophoric systems of organic pharmaceuticals, i.e. an increase in
the number of conjugated -electrons (e.g. as a consequence of different reactions), will
produce coloured compounds. The reason is that the conjugated -electrons can be
excited by electromagnetic radiation of lower energy than for isolated -electrons.

406. The sensitivity of
13
C-NMR spectroscopy is 1% of the sensitivity of
1
H-NMR
spectroscopy. The reason is that the occurrence of the isotope
13
C is only 1.1%.

407. The signal of the methyl group in the
1
H-NMR spectrum of ethanol is a triplet. The
reason is that the signal splits into three according to the n+1 rule due to the
neighbouring methylene group.

408. D- and L-phenylalanine can be distinguished by their optical rotations. The reason is that
the physical and chemical characteristics of diastereomers are different.

409. Specific rotation is a characteristic of optically active compounds. The reason is that
achiral compounds do not rotate the plane of a polarized light beam.

410. In an Abbe refractometer, the refractive index of a colourless substance can be measured
by using white light. The reason is that the refractive index does not depend on the
wavelength in the visible region.

411. In potentiometry, electrodes of the second kind are used as reference electrodes (e.g. the
calomel electrode). The reason is that their potential is in a logarithmic relation with the
activity of the substance being determined.

412. In the argentometric - potentiometric determination of chloride ion, the reference
electrode is separated from the sensing electrode and from the bulk of the solution. The
reason is that the conductance is maintained with an agar-agar salt bridge.

413. The end-point of an argentometric titration can not be indicated potentiometrically. The
reason is that the silver electrode is a reference electrode which has a constant potential
during an argentometric titration.

414. In instrumental pH measurements, a combined glass electrode can be used. The reason is
that in direct potentiometry there is no need for a reference electrode.

415. The calomel electrode is an electrode of the first kind. This is why it can be used as a
sensing electrode in potentiometry.

100

416. In a thin-layer chromatographic process, the larger the elution strength of the solvent is,
the higher is the R
f
value. The reason is that the time spent by the substance in the
solvent system increases with the elution ability of the solvent.

417. In thin-layer chromatography, well-dissociating acids can be separated by using acidic
eluents. The reason is that their affinity for the sorbent is stronger in such circumstances.

418. In gas chromatographic examinations, the retention time can be used for the
identification of the components. The reason is that the retention time is independent of
the temperature of the separation column.

419. A polar stationary phase is used for the separation of the isomers of butanol by gas
chromatography. The reason is that polar compounds can be separated successfully on
polar stationary phases.

420. The retention times of methyl ethyl ether (M
r
= 60) and n-propanol (M
r
= 60) are equal
on any stationary phase in gas chromatography. The reason is that compounds with
equal molecular masses are equally volatile.

421. Isomers of aliphatic hydrocarbons can be separated most successfully by gas
chromatography on apolar stationary phases. The reason is that on apolar stationary
phases (these) compounds are eluted in the sequence of their increasing boiling points.

422. In high-performance liquid chromatography for the characterization of retention
behaviour, the capacity rate (k') is used. The reason is that separation is based solely on
distribution.

423. Aliphatic alcohol homologues can be well separated by normal-phase high-performance
liquid chromatography. The reason is that the adsorbent is sensitive to changes of the
number in carbon atoms in molecules.

424. In high-performance liquid chromatography, the eluent is a mixture of water and a polar
solvent when the sorbent is silica. The reason is that silica is a reasonably good
adsorbent of polar compounds.

425. In high-performance liquid chromatography, reversed-phase columns (C
18
) are often
used. The reason is that the solvent-water ratio greatly influences the selectivity of the
column.

426. According to the Pharmacopoeia, lead and iron test solutions are used in the tests of
heavy metals. The reason is that, under the given conditions, only lead and iron
contamination can be detected as heavy metal impurities.

427. In limit tests changing amounts of the sample under examination are used in each case.
The reason is that the changes observed in the sample and the test solutions must be
equally strong.

428. In the limit tests official in the Pharmacopoeia, always 1 ml of test solution is used. The
reason is that this amount contains the allowed impurity content of each official
material.
101

429. In the test of arsenic impurity, the arsenic must be reduced to oxidation state +3. The
reason is that it can be detected with HgBr
2
paper after conversion into hydrogen
arsenide.

430. In a limit test, the Pharmacopoeia prescribes a potassium thiocyanate reagent for the
detection of Fe(III) ions. In this examination, Fe(II) and Fe(III) ions give red precipitates
with this reagent.

431. In the limit test for nitrate impurity, any ammonium contamination is also detected. The
reason is that the ammonium ion is transformed to nitrate as a result of oxidation by the
concentrated sulfuric acid reagent.

432. Benzaldehyde impurity in Acidum benzoicum must be detected with fuchsin and
sulfurous acid. The reason is that benzaldehyde is a characteristic impurity of benzoic
acid.

433. In a glacial acetic acid medium, the acidity of weak organic acids is increased. This is
the reason why the direct titration of bases is disturbed by the presence of weak organic
acids.

434. In a non-aqueous medium, the determination of bases present in the form of
hydrochloride salts is possible only after extraction of the base from alkaline solution
with chloroform. The reason is that hydrochloric acid is a medium-strong acid in non-
aqueous medium.

435. The free salicylic acid impurity in acetylsalicylic acid can not be detected through its
complex with FeCl
3
. The reason is that acetylsalicylic acid readily hydrolyses to salicylic
acid on standing in aqueous solution.

436. For the separation of hexachlorophene from its mixture with salicylic acid, aqueous
sodium carbonate solution is used. The reason is that the phenolic hexachlorophene can
be selectively extracted from the solution in this way.

437. The bismuth and magnesium contents of Pulvis neutracidus (FoNo) can be assayed
complexometrically in the ignited sample without previous separation. The reason is that
magnesium forms a complex with sodium edetate only in acidic solution, and bismuth
forms a complex with sodium edetate only in alkaline solution.

438. The identification of phenacetin in pulvis analgeticus (Coffeinum, Phenacetinum and
Aminophenazonum) is performed by the addition of 25% nitric acid instead of
concentrated nitric acid, to increase the selectivity of identification. The reason is that
the disturbing effect of aminophenazone can be eliminated in this way.

439. The lidocaine and caffeine content of Suppositorium antiemeticum can be determined by
titration in non-aqueous medium. The reason is that in glacial acetic acid caffeine is
sufficiently basic to be determined.

440. Pharmaceuticals containing covalently bound halogen are generally apolar, water-
insoluble compounds. They do not yield silver halides with silver ion.

102

441. According to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog convention, a bromine substituent receives a lower
number than a chlorine substituent. The reason is that they follow each other in the ABC
in this sequence.

442. Meso-tartaric acid is inactive optically. The reason is that it contains no chiral centre.

443. The Pharmacopoeia prescribes alcohol dilution in v/v%. The reason is that when alcohol
is mixed with water, a volume contraction occurs.

444. The factor of a glacial acetic acid perchloric acid titrant increases with temperature.
The reason is that its real concentration decreases with temperature.

445. Lactose does not give a positive Fehling reaction. The reason is that it contains galactose
and glucose.

446. Fructose and glucose give positive Fehling reactions. The reason is that there is no
significant difference in reactivity of structural isomers.

447. Ionization and lipophility of drugs greatly influence their absorption. The reason is that
only hydrophilic particles can pass through cell membranes unhindered.

448. To characterize lipophilicity, the octanol/water distribution ratio is used. The reason is
that octanol can not be mixed with water.

449. The octanol/water distribution ratio measures the lipophilicity of drugs. The reason is
that this solvent system is a good model of the biological distribution (penetration) of a
drug.

450. The distribution ratio of molecules that can be ionized is pH- dependent. The reason is
that in aqueous solution ionization occurs, which is dependent on the pH and pK
a

values.

451. The real distribution ratio is a pH-independent constant. The reason is that this constant
refers to the concentration ratio of the non-ionized particle in the organic and water
phases.

452. The absorption of drugs of weak acid type is advantageous at the gastric pH. The reason
is that they are then present mostly in non-ionized (transport) form.

453. The absorption of drugs is not influenced by ionization. The reason is that absorption is
basically controlled by lipophility.

454. 50% a base with pK
a
= 7.4 is protonated form at the tissue pH. The reason is that
ionization is solely dependent on the pK
a
value.

455. Diethyl ether should be stored in completely filled, well-stoppered containers, protected
from light. The reason is that a peroxide is readily formed in diethyl ether on the action
of the oxygen of the air and light.

103

456. Diethyl ether should not be stored in metal containers. The reason is that it may contain
explosive peroxide impurities.

457. Peroxides are dangerous impurities in diethyl ether. The reason is that the hydrolysis of
peroxides results in poisonous polymeric substances.

458. Phosgene is a dangerous impurity in chloroform. The reason is that moisture reacts with
phosgene to form hydrogen chloride, which causes pneumonia.

459. Morphine can be extracted into organic solvents from alkaline medium by means of the
usual alkaloid extraction methods. The reason is that morphine is a tertiary nitrogen-
containing base.

460. Morphine is an amphoteric substance. The reason is that morphine contains alcoholic
hydroxy groups.

461. Codeine is less polar than morphine. The reason is that codeine contains alcoholic
hydroxy groups.

462. Morphine and codeine can be distinguished with the Marquis reaction. The reason is that
morphine and codeine differ in a single ether- bonded methyl group.

463. The activities of the major analgesics are influenced by both the lipophilicity and the
steric structure. The reason is that the lipophilicity provides access to the central nervous
system, while the appropriate steric situation of the connected groups is needed for
binding to the receptor.

464. Salicylic acid is a weaker acid than benzoic acid. The reason is that the acidity is
decreased by the ortho-hydroxy group, which forms a hydrogen-bond.

465. Salicylic acid is a weaker acid than its structural isomers such as m-OH-benzoic acid and
p-OH-benzoic acid. The reason is that an intramolecular hydrogen-bond is formed
between its -OH and -COOH groups in the ortho position.

466. The quantitative determination of phenazone is performed bromatometrically. The
reason is that the addition of bromine to the double bond of phenazone takes place
quantitatively.

467. Phenylbutazone has an acidic character. The reason is that the two carbonyl groups on
the skeleton weaken the binding of the hydrogen at position 4.

468. The more lipophilic a barbiturate molecule is, the stronger is its sedatohypnotic activity.
The reason is that the activity is in a linear relation with the lipophilicity.

469. Both hydrogens on C-5 in therapeutically usable barbiturates must be substituted. The
reason is that this increases the proportion of the non-ionic transport form in the tissues
at physiological pH.

104

470. The Parri-Zwicker reaction is characteristic of, but is not selective for barbiturates. The
reason is that some xanthine and sulfonamide derivatives also give a positive reaction.

471. The quantitative determination of barbiturates containing an unsaturated moiety is
performed bromatometrically. The reason is that the substitution of bromine is a
quantitative process.

472. In the argentometric determination of phenobarbital, no indicator is prescribed by the
Pharmacopoeia. The reason is that the end-point is detected via the beginning of
precipitation of the disilver salt.

473. Phenobarbital is optically active. The reason is that it contains two different substituents
at position 5.

474. The oxidizability of phenothiazines permits a self-indicating cerimetric titration. The
reason is that in the acidic assay medium a gradually darkening red colour is produced,
which disappears at the end-point.

475. During the hydrolysis of meprobamate, CO
2
and ammonia are generated, as in the case
of urethane. The reason is that they are ester derivatives of carbamic acid.

476. When boiled with acid, the 1,4-benzodiazepines decompose to benzophenone and
glycine derivatives. The reason is that their amide moiety is sensitive to hydrolysis.

477. 1,4-Benzodiazepine type anxiolytics have a nitro group at position 7. The reason is that
the presence of an electron-withdrawing group at position 7 is one of the conditions of
the anxiolytic effect.

478. Glutamic acid can not take part in biochemical transamination. The reason is that it is an
amide derivative.

479. In overdosages with parasympathomimetic alkylphosphate, the toxic effects can not be
influenced. The reason is that alkylphosphates are bound covalently in the body.

480. Atropine does not exhibit optical activity. The reason is that it does not contain an
asymmetric carbon atom.

481. The appearance of a purple-red colour in the Vitali reaction obviously refers to the
presence of atropine. The essence of the Vitali reaction is the nitration of a tropic acid
moiety, after which the action of an alkali metal hydroxide yields a coloured compound.

482. Both atropine and cocaine give a positive Vitali reaction. The reason is that both
compounds contain the tropane skeleton.

483. Tropeins containing a quaternary N atom have no effect on the central nervous system.
The reason is that, due to their poor lipophylicity, they do not penetrate to the CNS.

484. Ephedrine hydrochloride quickly becomes coloured on standing in the air. The reason is
that it contains oxidizable phenolic hydroxy groups.

105

485.
The addition of Cu
2
to an alkaline solution of ephedrine yields a reddish-violet colour
which can be extracted into butanol. The reason is that this is promoted by H-bond
formation between the phenolic groups and butanol.

486. The Chen-Kao reaction can be used for the detection of ephedrine traces in
amphetamine. The reason is that ephedrine, as an amino alcohol, produces a coloration
in this reaction, while amphetamine does not react.

487. The ergot alkaloids used in therapy are derivatives of D-isolysergic acid. The lysergic
acid derivatives can therefore be regarded as their enantiomers.

488. Benzocaine can be measured by bromatometry. The reason is that a tribromine
derivative arises during the reaction.

489. Benzocaine and lidocaine can be distinguished by their azo dyes. The reason is that
lidocaine does not contain a tertiary amino group.

490. When a solution of cocaine in concentrated sulfuric acid is heated and then diluted with
water after cooling, colourless crystals precipitate from the solution. The reason is that
the hydrolysis of cocaine leads to tropic acid, which is poorly soluble in water.

491. The metabolism of lidocaine involves N-desalkylation. The reason is that the amide
group is sensitive to hydrolytic degradation.

492. Benzocaine is diazotized by reaction with nitrite, and then forms a coloured azo dye
with 2-naphthol. The reason is that benzocaine contains an ethyl group.

493. In the papaverine identification test, the coralyn reaction, a yellowish-green, fluorescent
compound is formed. The reason is that the isoquinoline moiety, because of its
electronic structure, is an acid-base indicator.

494. The nitric esters of polyalcohols are explosive compounds. The reason is that they
contain easily cleavable carbon-nitrogen covalent bonds.

495. Niphedipine is sensitive to light. The reason is that it undergoes degradation with
intramolecular disproportionation on exposure to light.

496. Fenofibrate, which acts against atherosclerosis, is a prodrug. The reason is that its active
metabolite fenofibroic acid occurs in the body.

497. The natural estrogens form red azo dyes with diazotized sulfanilic acid in alkaline
medium. The reason is that they are sterane derivatives.

498. Esterification of the 3-phenolic and/or 17-alcoholic hydroxy groups of natural estrogens
leads to long-lasting agents arise. Natural estrogens contain the pregnane skeleton.

499. Ethynylestradiol is an orally applicable estrogen. The reason is that its 17-OH group is
protected from rapid oxidation by the introduction of an ethyl group in the 17-position.

106

500. Testosterone can not be administered orally. The reason is that it contains the androstane
skeleton.

501. Testosterone propionate is applied in injectional preparations. This derivative is better
soluble in water than testosterone itself.

502. Norandrosterolone phenylpropionate (the active agent of Nerobolil
oily injection) is an
anabolic drug. The reason is that its 17-hydroxy group is esterified.

503. Mazipredone hydrochloride is a water-soluble glucocorticoid. The reason is that its N-
methylpiperazinyl group permits salt formation.

504. Hydrocortisone is a steroid drug with the pregnane skeleton. The reason is that the
anellation of rings A/B is cis, while the anellations of rings B/C and C/D are trans.

505. A sensitive reaction of corticosteroids is the formation of red formazans with colourless
tetrazolium salts in alkaline medium. The reason is that their 17-side-chain has strong
oxidative properties.

506. The corticosteroids give a positive Fehling reaction. The reason is that they have
reducing properties due to their hydroxyacetone side-chain.

507. The corticosteroids have reducing properties. The reason is that they are
4
-3-keto-
steroids.

508. In the therapy of certain kinds of hyperlipidaemias, ion-exchange resins containing basic
ammonium groups are applied. The reason is that, when administered orally, they bind
bile acids, in this way reducing the cholesterine production of the liver.

509. The xanthine derivatives official in the Pharmacopoeia can not be distinguished from
each other with the murexide reaction. The reason is that all three react to yield a
crimson-red salt of purpuric acid.

510. Caffeine forms a white, jelly-like precipitate with sodium hydroxide. The reason is that
contains an acidic hydrogen.

511. The thiazide-type diuretics are called "saluretics". The reason is that they excrete a
significant quantities of HCO
3
and Na
in the urine.

512. Alkalinization of the urine is a characteristic effect of carboanhydrase-blocking
diuretics. The reason is that they excrete significant quantities of HCO
3
and Na

in the
urine.

513. Sorbitol does not react in the Fehling test. The reason is that it is a polyhydroxy
compound containing six carbon atoms.

514. One of the possibilities for the production of insulin preparations with prolonged action
is an increase of the zinc content. The reason is that the bonding of zinc ions shifts the
isoelectric point of insulin to the neutral zone, and its dissolution and penetration into
the blood circulation are therefore slower.
107

515. Homogeneous insulin preparations are called "monocomponent" (MC) insulins. The
reason is that, apart from insulin, they do not contain other immunogenic peptides (e.g.
proinsulin, C-peptide, etc.).

516. Vitamins D are sealed in brown vials under vacuum. The reason is that they are sensitive
to light and air.

517. Tocopherol derivatives give a colour reaction in the usual phenol-iron(III) complex
formation. The reason is that the methyl groups adjacent to the phenolic hydroxy group
have no effect on it.

518. Thiamine is a hydophilic vitamin. The reason is that it contains a quaternary nitrogen.

519. It is a specific reaction of thiamine that in alkaline medium, in the presence of an
oxidizing agent, a vivid-blue fluorescence appears. The reason is that the aromatic
primary amino group of the pyrimidine ring and C-2 of the thiazole ring react, with ring
closure.

520. The structure of vitamin B
12
is very close to that of the porphyrins. The reason is that
vitamin B
12
contains a cobalt(III) atom.

521. The configurations of C-4 and C-5 of ascorbic acid are the same as in L-gulonic acid.
The reason is that, after enolization of the keto groups on C-2 and C-3, these atoms
become chiral.

522. The ascorbic acid identity tests are based on its endiol moiety. The reason is that there is
no alcoholic hydroxy group in the structure.

523. The pyran ring of flavonoids opens easily. The reason is that this results in a flavonoid-
calcone equilibrium.

524. Prostaglandins can be classified as alicyclic compounds. The reason is that their basic
skeleton, consisting of 20 carbon atoms, contains a cyclopentane ring.

525. The pyrazolidinedione derivative-containing pharmaceutical preparations are stable
during storage. The reason is that the two acid amide bonds stabilize the molecule.

526. In the molecule of phenylbutazone, lactam-lactim tautomerism is possible. The reason is
that the 1,2,4-trisubstituted pyrazolidine-3,5-diones are C-H acidic compounds.

527. Indomethacin is an optically active compound. The reason is that the anti-inflammatory
agents of -arylpropionic acid type contain at least one asymmetry centre.

528. The acidic character of the OH group of benzhydrol is stronger than that of phenol. The
reason is the stronger electron-attracting effect of the two aromatic rings.

529. Benzenesulfone-chloroamide sodium is a good disinfectant. The reason is that, during its
application, benzenesulfonamide is released.

108

530. Quinine has theoretically 2
4
= 16 diastereomers. The reason is that quinine contains four
chiral centres.

531. Addition of bromine to quinine or quinidine takes place readily. The reason is that they
contain a vinyl group.

532. Cinchonidine does not give the thalleiochin reaction. The reason is that one criterion of a
positive thalleiochin reaction among the Quina alkaloids is that the quinoline ring must
contain an OH or OCH
3
group at position 6'.

533. An aqueous solution of quinine chloride fluoresces a vivid-blue colour. The reason is the
presence of an oxygen-containing functional group at position 6' on the quinoline ring.

534. The aromatic primary amino group of sulfonamides is essential for their activity. The
reason is that the basicity strength determines the half-life of the drug.

535. Chloramphenicol has cis and trans isomers. The reason is that it contains two chiral
centres.

536. Chloramphenicol has two enantiomers. The reason is that it contains two chiral centres.

537. The sodium salt of chloramphenicol hydrogensuccinate is applied for injectional
preparations. The reason is that chloramphenicol is slightly soluble in water.

538. All effective compounds among the fluoroquinolines contain the 4-pyridone-3-
carboxylic acid moiety. The reason is that the introduction of fluorine in different
positions in the molecules increases their effects.

539. 6-Aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) is the key intermediate of penicillin production. The
reason is that it is pharmacologically more effective than the biosynthetic derivatives.

540. Methicillin is resistant to penicillinase. The reason is that the aromatic ring connected to
the exocyclic carboxamide contains two methoxy groups in the ortho position, which
sterically inhibits hydrolysis of the -lactam moiety.

541. The semisynthetic penicillin derivatives are more advantageous than the biosynthetic
products. The reason is that the introduction of an appropriate substituent can yield
enzyme-resistant and acid-resistant products.

542. The penicillins are stable against acids. The reason is that the -lactam ring does not
open in acidic media.

543. In acetic acid media, the decomposition of cephalosporins is fast. The reason is that they
contain more than 2 chiral centres.

544. Tetracyclines are yellow. The reason is that they contain conjugated double bonds.

545. Anticancer complexes of platinum do not interfere with the biological functions of
DNA. The reason is that they bind mainly to the purine bases in the DNA chain.

109

546. Nitrogen mustard type anticancer alkylating agents react with the electrophilic groups of
biomolecules. The reason is that their mercapto groups bind the metal ions necessary for
the activity of enzymes.
