Question 6

NaCl equivalent method

Answer 6

Sodium chloride equivalent is the weight in grams of NaCl that will give an equivalent osmotic effect to that of 1g of the designated drug

Question 7

Freezing point depression method

Answer 7

NaCl defines as lowering the freezing point of water by 0.52 C and all other solutes are referenced by the degree to which they lower the freezing point
