What is the difference between a mmol and a mEq?
Milli equivalents and milli moles are units used to describe molecular or ionic grades of concentration. A milli equivalent or mEq is derived by dividing the concentration in millimol or mmol by the valency of the ion involved.Eg: 1 mEq of sodium Na+ = 1 mmol of sodium (because valency is 1)whereas 1 mEq of Ca2+ = .5 mmol of calcium. (because valency is
What is millimol and milli equivalent?
A millimole (mmol) is a unit of measurement that represents one-thousandth of a mole, which quantifies the amount of a substance based on the number of particles, atoms, or molecules. A milliequivalent (mEq) is a unit used to express the concentration of reactive species in a solution, particularly ions, and is based on the chemical reactivity of the species involved. It accounts for the charge of ions, where one milliequivalent is equal to one-thousandth of an equivalent, determined by the number of charges per mole. Thus, while millimoles measure the quantity of a substance, milliequivalents consider both quantity and reactivity.
99mg potassium equals how many meq?
The answer is 2.53 mEq.Here is my work:99mg Potassium x (1mmol/39.0983mg potassium) x (1mEq/1mmol) = 2.53 mEq* The 39.0983 comes from the atomic mass of Potassium which means that 39.0983 grams = 1 mol (which also means 39.0983 milligrams = 1 millimol (mmol). 1 mmol of potassium = 1 milliequivalent (mEq) because milliequivalents are just the number of mmols of charges (positive/negative), and since potassium has 1 positive charge 1 mmol = 1 mEq.This is the over-the-counter dose. Most prescriptions are for 20mEq doses but usually range from 8mEq to 40mEq.
