Sodium bicarbonate 2.5 g/L or Sodium citrate 2.9g/L
Apparatus: Glass beaker, measuring cylinder, digital balance, spatula etc.
Procedure
 Weigh the required amount of sucrose, NaCl, KCl and Sodium bicarbonate
 Reduce particles of each ingredient in mortal pestle and mix thoroughly in a dry
beaker
 Fill in air tight container or aluminum sachet when moisture content is less than
2%
 Alternatively, mix above mixture with water to produce one liter of oral
rehydration solution.
