mEq to mg Formula
To convert milliequivalents (mEq) to milligrams (mg), you can use the following formula:
mg = mEq * (At Wt / V)
Where,
- mg = milligrams
- mEq = milliequivalent
- At Wt = Atomic Weight or molecular weight
- V= Valance number
How to convert mEq to mg?
To convert milliequivalents (mEq) to milligrams (mg), you need to know the Atomic weight and valence of the substance
Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Select the substance : (eg – Mg, Zn)
- Next, look up the atomic weight of the substance (use the periodic table)
- Next, Determine the valence (ex – valence of magnesium is 2)
- Next, use the above formula
Solved Example
Example – 2 mEq of sodium ions (Na⁺), and you want to convert it to milligrams
Solved
- milliequivalent = 2 mEq
- Atomic Weight of sodium (Na) = 22.99 g/mol
- Valence of sodium (Na) = 2
Put all values into the formula
mg = 2 * (22.99 / 1) = 2 * 22.99 = 45.98 mg
Therefore, 2 mEq of sodium ions is equivalent to 45.98 mg of sodium
