Suppose I have 100g of calcium bicarbonate, how many mEq do I have?

mEq stands for milliequivalents. An equivalent is the molar ionic dissociation of a compound. So, 100 g of CaCO3 = 1 mole (gram molecular weight of CaCO3 is 100). This dissociates into 2 equivalents of Ca++ and 2 equivalents CO3-- since both Calcium and carbonate are divalent.

In my experience with organic research, equivalents refer to the equal number of moles of reactant. For example, say you have a reaction: x + 2y --> z If you react 1 mol of x and 4 mol of y, you have 2 equivalents of y.

mEq stands for milli-equivalents. The concept of equivalents is similar to the concept of moles; you have to qualify what it is that you have equivalents of.
