In the practical experiments of the Pharmaceutical Analytical Chemistry (3) course, students apply the principles of quantitative analysis through an experiment determining ferrous iron in pharmaceutical preparations by potassium permanganate titration (Permanganometry).
The experiment allows students to move from theoretical concepts to working directly with pharmaceutical samples, understanding oxidation–reduction reactions, and training in volumetric titration and accurately determining the end point.
The importance of this experiment is not limited to acquiring laboratory skills; it also shows the role of pharmaceutical analytical chemistry in determining the content of active substances and verifying the quality of pharmaceutical preparations on a scientific basis.
This training is part of the PharmD Program’s approach at Al Arab University of linking knowledge with application and developing students’ analytical skills and scientific precision, supporting their readiness for professional practice.
