To Determine the Concentration of Paracetamol Solution by Calibration Curve Method Using UV-Visible Spectrophotometry

Amit Singh Raghuvanshi

Abstract


A new method of spectrophotometric assessment in the UV-region has been developed for the analysis of acetaminophen in tablet form. This method, which uses Methanol and water as diluents, was developed and evaluated for the analysis of paracetamol. In spectrophotometric estimations, this does not reveal any interference. UV-Visible spectrophotometry is one of the most widely used techniques in pharmaceutical analysis. It comprises estimating the amount of UV or visible radiation absorbed by a substance in solution. Uv spectrophotometers are devices that measure the intensity ratio, or functional of ratio, of two UV-Visible beams. If any documented evidence is accessible, organic molecules can be discovered using a spectrophotometer in qualitative analysis, and quantitative spectrophotometric analysis is performed to quantify the number of molecular species absorbing the light. The specttrophotometric approach is simple, quick, and reasonably specific, and it can be used to measure small amounts of chemicals. Quantitative spectrophotometric analysis is governed by the Beer-Lambert law.
