ns of 3 marks each out of which 5 are to be attempted.
Why is the speed of ball mill critical for effective size reduction?
‘At the optimum speed, the centrifuging occurs, the balls in the mill are
carried to the top and they fall in a cascade across the diameter of the
mill resulting in the size reduction of the drug through impact and
attrition.

Question 15. Which process will be used to separate two miscible liquids and why?
Fractional distillation / rectification is used to separate two miscible
liquids. The principle of fractional distillation is that different liquids
boil at different temperature. The miscible liquids boil at different
temperature and evaporate at different temperature. When the
mixture is heated, the liquid with lower boiling point boils and turns
into vapors which results in separation of the components of the
mixture with the help of fractionating column. The function of the
fractionating column is to facilitate condensation of the vapors of I
volatile component into the still, whereas the vapors of more volatile
component pass through the condenser and are collected in the
receiver.
Question 16. What are the ideal characteristics of a container?
i. These must protect the preparation from the environmental
conditions.
Il, These should be non-reactive towards the product.
ili, These should not leach their color, odor or taste to the product.
iv. These should be non-toxi

vi, These must possess enough strength to withstand temperatures
variation during transportation and move smoothly in the high
speed packaging machinery.
