how many miligrams is 30 mEq of potassium?

Answer 1

Potassium — Atomic Mass: 39.0983 Amu

For potassium:
mols = equivalents


1 Equivalent of Potassium = 39.0983 g
1 milliequivalent of Potassium = 39.0983 mg
30milliequivalent of Potassium = 30 millimoles of Potassium
30*39.0983 mg = 1172.949 mg

1172.949 mg of Potassium is 30 mEq of potassium

Answer 2

Potassium 30 Meq

Answer 3

First mEq of Potassium (K+) = mmol which is currently used in clinical chemistry. Claculation gives different figures depending on the form of potassion. Pure potasium in chemistry is different from clinical use as potassium salts in combination with chloride, carbonate or citrate. So the amount of K+ mEq per gram weught differs for each salt.

20 mmol of potassium cloride = 1.5 grams of KCl = 1500 milligrams, so 1 gr of KCl contains 13.3 mmol of K+

30 mmol of potassium is found in 2.25 grams = 2250 mg of KCl

Answer 4

mg =( mEq) × (formula wt /valence)

mg = 30 X (39/ 1)

mg = 1170 mg of potassium

If you convert it to mg/dL from mEq/L

then divide the 1170 by 10 = 117 mg/dL of potassium
