Uses— It is irritant to respiratory mucous membrane also used as leavening agent & photography lens cleaner .

Antidotes -;

A substance which produces disease or death or I'll health Is called poision. The acute poisoning may be accidental, occupational,self medication, suicidal or criminal .

Antidotes are those agent which produces opposite physiological action or complex or prevent absorption of poison in body fluids.

Antidotes are classified as their mode of action; 

1. Chemical antidotes- These types of agents combines with poison & changes poisonous behaviour of the compound.
Ex- Sodium thiosulphate combine with toxic cyanide ion to form non- toxic thiocyanide.

2. Physiological antidotes - These types of agents produces opposite effect of that of poison or neutralized the effect of poison.
Ex- Sodium nitrate convert Feᐩᐩ to Feᐩᐩᐩ in the order to bind cyanide ions with Feᐩᐩ hemoglobin, Feᐩᐩᐩ methaemoglobin .

Mechanical antidotes-;

These agents prevent absorption of poison in the body by increasing rate of elimination ( through urine ) or by producing emesis ( vomiting) or adsorb the poison on thin own surface to form inactive complex .

Ex- Diuretic ( urine)
      Cupric sulphate ( emetic) 
      Activated charcoal ( adsorption)

Sodium nitrate-;

Chemical formula- NaNO₂
Molecular weight- 69

Preparation-;
It can be prepared by reflexing sodium nitrate with metallic lead , so sodium nitrate reduced to sodium nitrate & water insoluble lead oxide .

NaNO₃    +  Pb     →       NaNO₂    +  PbO
Sodium.                          Sodium
Nitrate                            nitrite

Physical properties- 

1. 
NaNO₂    + HCl    →    NaCl   + HNO₂

2. 
NaNO₂    +   NH₄Cl     →     NH₄NO₂   +   NaCl
                                                     ↓
                                             N₂    +   H₂O

Storage- Stored in air tight container, protected from  moisture.
Uses- Used as antidotes in cyanide poisoning.

Expectorant-;

These agents enhances the secretion of sputum from the air passage.
It act by increasing the broncheal secretion or making it less viscous.
They irritate the lining of stomach which provides stimulus for production of sputum by the gland in the broncheal mucous membrane.
Ex- ammonium chloride, glyceryl guaiacol ate, Potassium iodide & hydroiodic acid  syrup. 

Emetics - 
These agents produces irritation on GIT muscles or stimulate chemoreceptor triger zone ( C.T.Z.) located in medulla oblangata & produces vomiting.
 ★  Emetics are contraindicated in patients suffering from shock ,CNS depression,heart  disease & pregnancy.
It is also mixed with expectorant to expel the cough.

              Dissolved 10ml H₂O + 1ml dilute H₂SO₄
                                                     
                 No turbidity produced within 2hrs.   
                                 
2. For thiocynate— 
Acidify 10ml 10% w/v with  HCl + few drops of ferric acid   → No red colour

Assay-;
Assayed by acid - base titration. The neutral formaldehyde solution is added to so that ammonium chloride solution will be converted into hexamine & HCl .
The librated acid is titrated with 0.1N NaOH using phenolphthalein indicator.

Each ml of 0.1N NaOH = 0.05349gm of NH₄Cl 

Storage- Stored in air tight container and protected from moisture .

Uses- used as expectorant, diuretic in lead poising & also in treatment of urinary infection.

Dose= 300mg to 1 gm as expectorant

Potassium iodide-

Chemical formula- KI
Molecular weight- 166

Preparation- 
★ It is prepared by treating a hot aqueous potassium hydroxide solution with iodine , a mixture of potassium iodide & potassium iodate is formed.

6KOH    +   3I₂       →      5KI    +  KIO₃   + 3H₂O   

Physical properties-
★ It is odourless, colourless crystals.
★ soluble in H₂O   & glycerine.

Purity test—
a. Cyanide-;
Dissolve 0.5gm in hot water + drop of ferrous sulphate solution & 0.5ml of sodium hydroxide & acidify with HCl  → No blue colour produce.


  b. Iodate -; 
2 drops of dilute H₂SO₄ + 0.5gm sample in water  & a drops of starch Solution→ No blue colour is produced.

Storage - Stored in air tight container and protected from light.
