A Technique Developed To Determine The Extent Of Standardization Of Locally Prepared Salt-Sugar Solution At Certain Temperatures

ABSTRACT Oral rehydration therapy ORT is a type of fluid replacement used as a treatment for dehydration. It involves drinking water mixed with sugar and salt while continuing to eat. In this paper density and viscosity of salt sugar solution at 308.15 K 313.13 K 318.15 K 323.15K 328.15 K and 333.15 K have been determined using Ostwalds viscometer. The results showed that density and viscosity decreased with increased in temperature. The density-temperature and viscosity-temperature curves obtained can be used to determine the extent of the accuracy of any locally prepared oral rehydration therapy.
