  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].

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.

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.


20 meq is equal to how many mg of potassium?

Potassium has a gram atomic mass of 39.1, to three significant digits (one more significant digit than "20 meq" has). Therefore, one meq = 39.1 mg, and 20 meq = 20(39.1) = 7.8 X 102 mg, to the justified number of significant digits.


How many centigrams are in 20 milligrams?

There are 10 milligrams in one centigram. Therefore, 20 milligrams is equal to 20/10 = 2 centigrams.
