SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC DETERMINATION OF PARACETAMOL IN PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS

In this work, the UV-VIS spectrophotometric method was used for the quantitative determination of paracetamol in different pharmaceutical products. This method of determination was chosen as it is easier to put into practice, not requiring complex equipment, expensive reagents and complex work methodology (like the chromatographic methods), thus being within the reach of more modest laboratories. It was chosen to use FeCl3 as a colour reagent.
