The United States dietary guidelines recommend sodium of NO more that 2300 milligrams a day (less is better); this equals about 1 teaspoon of salt.
A soup with 1350 mg per serving contains (this is more than 1/2 teaspoon of salt) more than one-half of the body's daily allotment, so it is not good. But if you are eating little else containing sodium during the day, then one serving of soup, containing 1350 mg of sodium, can be consumed during one of your meals.
1350 mg
If a can of soup has 840 mg of sodium, that is the equivalent of 0.15 teaspoons. Dietary guidelines generally recommend keeping sodium to less than 1500 mg a day.

Technically, A teaspoon is not a unit of weight or quantity, but of volume; i.e. 500 mg of sodium x (57.5/23.0) = 1250 mg of salt.In this case 840 mg X (57.5/23.0) = 2100 mg of salt (approximately)
1g (1 000 mg) sodium chloride contain 396,66 mg sodium.

To convert mEq to mg for sodium, you can use the following formula: mEq x atomic weight of sodium ions (23 mg/mEq) = mg. So, 10.8 mEq of sodium would be equal to 248.4 mg of sodium.
The key difference between sodium and sodium chloride is that sodium is a chemical element whereas sodium chloride is a compound containing both sodium and chlorine chemical elements.
35. Salt is sodium.
To convert 100 milliequivalents (mEq) of sodium to milligrams (mg), you can use the conversion factor for sodium which is 1 mEq = 23 mg. Therefore, 100 mEq of sodium is equal to 2300 mg.
2000 mg of sodium is equal to 2 grams of sodium.
