How to calculate mEq?
Here are the steps to step calculation of mEq:
- Determine the molecular weight (MW) of the substance
- Determine the valence of the substance
- Determine the mass of the substance
Calculate the equivalent weight using the formula:
mEq = (mass * valence) / Molecular weight
Solved Example:
Example – 100 mg of calcium chloride (CaCl2) then calculate milliequivalents
Solved:-
- Mass = 100 mg
- Molecular weight = 111 g/mol
- Valence = 2
Put all values into the formula
Milliequivalent = (100 * 2)/ 111 = 1.802 mEq
So, 100 mg of calcium chloride is approximately 1.80 milliequivalents.
