Fill in the ScanTron sheet with the SINGLE BEST ANSWER to the following
questions. ONLY the ScanTron sheet will be graded; you will receive no
credit for answers marked on this question sheet.

Increasing van der Waals intermolecular attraction between molecules with an
increase in molecular size (e.g., number of electrons)
Decreasing van der Waals intermolecular attraction between molecules with
an increase in molecular size (e.g., number of electrons).
Increasing Inductive stabilization of the intermolecular attraction between
molecules with a decrease in the number/magatude of bond dipoles.
Decreasing Inductive stabilization of the intermolecular attraction between
‘molecules with an increase in the number/magnitude of bond dipoles.
None of the above are correct.

Partition co-efficients are expressed as logP values. These logP values relate to the
partitioning of the drug between an aqueous phase and an organic phase, typically
‘water-saturated n-octanol. The logP value is defined as:
P=0,99
@) The log of the ratio of the concentration of the drug in the organic phase over the
concentration of the drug in the aqueous phase.
B. The log of the negative of the ratio of the concentration of the drug in the aqueous
phase over the concentration of the drug in the organic phase.
‘The negative log of the ratio of the concentration of the drug in the aqueous phase
over the concentration of the drug in the organic phase.
The negative log of the ratio of the water solubility of the drug over the organic
phase solubility of the drug,
None of the above are correct.

‘A. Barbiturate A is more water soluble and has a higher LogP than barbiturate B.
Barbiturate A is less water soluble and has a higher LogP than barbiturate C.
Barbiturate A is more water soluble and has a lower LogP than barbiturate C.
Barbiturate B is less water soluble and has a lower LogP than barbiturate C.
Barbiturate B is more water soluble and has a lower LogP than barbiturate C.
