Since potassium has a valence of one, its equivalent weight is the same as its molecular weight; therefore, 2.9.

1 mMol of k3po4 = 6 mEq as phospate
1 mmol of Kphos = 1.46 KCL
0.4mEq
o.8 meq sodium
0.2 lets say you have 3.0 you will get 3.2
1 mMol of k3po4 = 6 mEq as phospate
yes
No. You'd need about 4 tablets of 99 mg KCl to equal 10 mEq of prescription-strength KCl, 8 tablets to equal 20 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.
ANSWER: 1500 mg.
390 mg is 10 meq if dealing with 'elemental' Potassium 2350 mg is 10 meq if dealing with Potassium Gluconate
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
E.W= Molecular weight / # of ions = 100.09 (mg/mmol) /2 (meq/mmol) =50.043 mg/meq
1 mmol of Kphos = 1.46 KCL
it depends on what you are measuring. Meq is a measure of charge. If you are measuring H+ which has one positive charge, 1 mmol = 1 meq for Ca2+, 1 mmol = 2 meq so the conversion will depend on the charge of the ion or molecule
Per FDA factsheet ... Potassium chloride extended-release capsules, USP, 10 mEq is an oral dosage form of microencapsulated potassium chloride containing 750 mg of potassium chloride USP equivalent to 10 mEq of potassium.
