This book has made an attempt to present the physical pharmacy experiments covering almost full requirements of various universities in a simple and understandable manner. Though it has been accepted to use only SI units in all scientific disciplines pharmacy not being an exception we are yet to completely transform to the new system of units. The authors have used the SI system of units in almost all experiments but in some experiments conventional units are also mentioned for easy understanding the value. Another important feature of this text is the questions and answers portion provided at the end of each experiment. This would help the students understanding the application of each experiment in pharmaceutical science and technology and prepare for the viva voce a component of practical examination. 100 pp.…
