To quantify paracetamol and its several medicinal formulations in an aqueous solution, a spectrophotometric approach was suggested. Paracetamol is oxidized by potassium ferricyanide and then coupled with sodium tungstate in a basic media as the basis for the procedure. The aqueous solution with a brown dye has the maximum absorption at 565 nm. It was discovered that the molar absorptivity was (2569.89 L/mol. cm) and that it complied with the law of beer between 1 - 65 µg/mL. The assay of pills, syrup, and ampules is accomplished with success using this technique.
