Aug 2, 2011 · Dose ordered: potassium chloride elixir 30 mEq PO. Dose on hand: 20 mEq/15. How many milliliters will you give? Please help with the conversion with work shown. Thank you so much. I have been trying for hours, need to know if I got it right.

Apr 25, 2010 · 2460 mg/l of sodium converted to meq/l what is the value If that is just the concentratuion of the sodium ion, divide by 22.99 g/mol = 107 mmol/L (or meq/l for sodium ion, which has charge of +1)

Oct 4, 2011 · From post #2, molar mass of NaCl is 58.443 g/mol, ionic charge is ±1, so moles and equivalents are equal for NaCl.

Jul 16, 2007 · The dose of 0.5 mEq/kg is mass-based dosing based on the patient's mass in kilograms. Sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3, which ionized to Na+ and HCO3- in water. As each ion has a charge of 1 electron, 1 equivalent is the same as 1 mole.

Sep 17, 2010 · The difference between equivalents and moles is the number of elementary charges the ion gives up or takes on. For potassium, it is one elementary charge so 1 meq = 1 mmol. For something like calcium, with 2 charges, it would be 2 meq = 1 mmol

Apr 5, 2014 · A 30 mEq dose is approximately 0.538 teaspoon (very slightly over a half teaspoon). I think your sister is pretty close and maybe closer than the doctor. However, you should consider a small electronic scale that can accurately weigh doses in the required range. They are not terribly expensive. 30 mEq is 3094 mg, or 3.094 g of potassium citrate.

Apr 2, 2011 · 10 mEq is 390 mg (per pill), 4/day is 1560 mg elemental potassium. If the OTC pills are 99/mg elemental potassium, 15.75 tablets (round to 15 or 16). With some rounding the 99 mg is about 2.5 mEq, or one quarter the strength of the prescription pills.

Oct 9, 2014 · 3.93g = 3.93/22.99 = 0.170Eq, or 170 mEq sodium per kilo of water. The amount of dry membrane required to desalinate 1 kilo of your seawater is: 1g x 170 mEq/2.4 mEq = 71.22. Your membranes desalination rate is 71.22 g dry membrane per kilo of seawater.

Jan 28, 2013 · Moles and equivalents of KCl are the same. Molar mass of KCl is 74.55 g/mol. So 745.5 mg KCl (390 mg of K) Amounts of minerals are often quted in elemental form although given as a salt, the rest is chloride.

Feb 24, 2012 · Because the Mg++ ion has a valence or charge of 2, 0.5 mEq is 0.25 mmol, so you have 0.025 mmol/kg. The molar mass of Mg is 24.305 g/mol, so 0.25 mmol/kg x 24.305 g/mol = 6.08 mg/kg. To convert to mg of magnesium, you'd have to know how many kilograms of mixture you are considering (and multiply by it).
