How many milligrams is 20 mEq?

Answer 1

1. i believe 10 meqs of potassium is equal to 390 mg's of potassium, therefore, one meq, is equal to 39 mg's potassium
2. Not sure where you get your answer but according to drugs.com 10meg is equal to 750 mg of potassium
3. 20mEq of potassium chloride is 781.960 mg of elemental potassium [K], and 709.060 mg of elemental chlorine [Cl] (which is 1491.0 mg of potassium chloride [KCl]). Here's how to figure it:

_________________

mg = (mEq • atomic, molecular or formula weight) / valence

Atomic weight of potassium [K] is 39.0983

Atomic weight of chlorine [Cl] is 35.453

The molecular weight of potassium chloride [KCl] is sum of the atomic weights above: 74.551 (rounded)

The valence of potassium chloride is 1

Thus:

(20mEq potassium chloride • 74.551) / 1 = 1491.0 mg potassium chloride

Which breaks down to 781.960 mg of elemental potassium [K], and 709.060 mg of elemental chlorine [Cl].

Answer 2

20mg=20mEq

_________________

This dangerously wrong. Check drugs.com.

20 MEQ is about 1500 mg.

Numerical answers to this question are all nonsense. A number would depend on the element, molecule or formula in question, and none was specified. The correct answer to this question (as posed) is:

mg = (mEq • atomic, molecular or formula weight) / valence

The first answer above is correct for hydrogen; the second is about right for potassium chloride. For a more detailed answer for potassium chloride, see the related question.

Answer 3

I normally would type out the answer for this but I think you can find a better answer at the following web site drugs.com/ppa/potassium-products.html
