The formula to convert milliequivalents to milligrams is:
\[ mg = \frac{meq \times \text{Atomic/Molecular Weight}}{\text{Valence}} \]
Where:
A milliequivalent (meq) is a unit of measure that reflects the amount of a substance based on the number of ions or electrons that the substance can supply in a chemical reaction. It is commonly used in chemistry and medicine, particularly in the context of electrolyte concentrations in fluids.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to convert meq to mg:
\[ mg = \frac{5 \times 58.44}{1} = 292.2 \text{ mg} \]
The mass in milligrams is 292.2 mg.
