Milliequivalents per Liter (Meq/L) Calculator

Calculate Milliequivalents per Liter





Formula

The formula to calculate the Milliequivalents per Liter (Meq/L) is:

\[ \text{Meq/L} = \left(\frac{C}{MW}\right) \times V \times 1000 \]

Where:

What is Meq/L?

Meq/L, or milliequivalents per liter, is a unit of concentration used in chemistry and medicine. It accounts for both the concentration of ions in a solution and their charge. This unit is particularly important in contexts where the reactivity of a solution is influenced by the ionic charge, such as in electrolyte solutions.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Using the formula to calculate the Milliequivalents per Liter (Meq/L):

\[ \text{Meq/L} = \left(\frac{100}{58.44}\right) \times 1 \times 1000 = 1711.79 \text{ Meq/L} \]

This means that the concentration is 1711.79 Meq/L.
