Precise Evaluation of the Essential Metal Ions in Oral Rehydration Solution by Flame Emission Spectroscopy
Abstract
Three rapid, precise, and reliable analytical methods have been established for determining the concentrations of sodium and potassium in two distinct ORS formulations. The first method, use only one standard means measuring how bright the flame is for a sample solution and comparing it with the brightness of a standard solution, means known solution. The second method uses two standard solutions. It involves standardizing a reference substance using two-point bracketing, and the final result is calculated using mathematical formulas. The third method is a linear curve, which means finding how much of a substance is in a sample by comparing it to other sample with known amount. The concentration of a substance in an unknown sample is determined by measuring its flame intensity and comparing it with that of standards, since flame intensity is directly proportional to concentration. The linear range for sodium and potassium is in the range of 0-100 μg/ml. The developed methods were effectively utilized for the precise evaluation of sodium and potassium in commercially available ORS formulations. Accurate percentage yield indicate that all three methods are rapid, precise and reliable for the estimation of sodium and potassium in two different formulations of ORS.
