The formula to calculate milliequivalents (meq) is:
\[
meq = \frac{g \cdot V \cdot 1000}{MW}
\]
Where:
\( meq \) is the amount in milliequivalents
\( g \) is the amount in grams
\( V \) is the valence of the substance
\( MW \) is the molecular weight of the substance (g/mol)
Definitions
Grams to Meq: A conversion used in chemistry and medicine to measure the amount of a substance based on its chemical reactivity or its concentration in a solution.
Example
Let's say the amount in grams (g) is 5, the valence (V) is 2, and the molecular weight (MW) is 58.44 g/mol. Using the formula:
\[
meq = \frac{5 \cdot 2 \cdot 1000}{58.44}
\]
We get:
\[
meq \approx 171.1
\]
So, the amount in milliequivalents is approximately 171.1 meq.
