Inorg Chem Lab ORS Flashcards
ORS
Oral rehydration solution
Best method for combatting dehydration
50mL/kg mild diarrhea
100mL/kg moderate diarrhea
Every 4h
10mL/kg every diarrheal stool, after 4h reassess the patient
5mL/kg every 5mins for vomiting increasing gradually as tolerated
Potassium in ors
Promote a feeling of well being, stimulate appetite and activity of the patient
Potassium unlike sodium is absorbed passively
Loss of potassium results in muscular weakness, lethargy and anorexia
Bicarbonate in ors
To correct the electrolyte imbalance
metabolic acidosis
Precipitated sulfur
equation
3 CaO + 3 H2O -> 3 Ca (OH)2
3 Ca(OH)2 + 12S -> 2 CaS5 +CaS2O5+3H2O
2CaS5 + 4HCl -> 8S + 2 CaCl2 + 2 H2S
Precipitated Sulfur
Properties
Color- pale yellow
Odor- odorless
Form- very fine amorphous powder
Litmus paper result- B>R, R>B
Neither acidic nor basic (neutral)
Precipitated Sulfur
Test of purity
R>B, B>R
+ K2C2O4 -no ppt
+AgNO3 -no ppt
Dissolves readily
Absence sulfur, Ca2+, Cl-
Neutral
Slaking
Addition of water to lime CaO with the liberation of heat
The solution is kept alkaline because flowers of sulfur contains amount of arsenic pentasulfide digested with Ca(OH)2, calcium sulfuarsenite which is soluble in alkaline liquid
If made acidic, it will contaminate the precipitated sulfur
Kind of preparation
Liquid mixture because particles since it is lighter and easily suspended
