Free online meq to mg conversion calculator – With our easy-to-use calculator, you can quickly convert any mEq value to its equivalent mg amount
The formula of mEq to mg conversion
The conversion formula is:
The conversion between mEq and mg depends on the specific substance’s valence and molecular weight. The conversion formula is:
mg = (mEq * MW) / Valence
Where:
- mg = Milligrams
- mEq = Milliequivalents
- MW = Molecular Weight in grams per mole
Common Example: Potassium
For potassium (K), the molecular weight is 39.1 mg/mmol, and its valence is 1. So, the conversion formula is:
mg of potassium = mEq of potassium × 39.1
example1, to convert 5 mEq of potassium into milligrams:
5 mEq × 39.1=195.5 mg
example2, to convert 20 mEq of potassium into milligrams:
20 mEq × 39.1=782 mg
example3, to convert 10 mEq of potassium into milligrams:
10 mEq × 39.1=391 mg
How to Use the mEq to mg Conversion Calculator
Using the calculator is simple:
- Select the substance you are converting (e.g., potassium, calcium).
- Enter the value in mEq.
- Click Calculate, and the result will show the equivalent mg amount.
Substances You Can Convert
- Potassium (K)
- Calcium (Ca)
- Magnesium (Mg)
- Sodium (Na)
- Chlorine (Cl)
- Phosphorous (P)
- Sulfur (S)
- Sulfate (So4)
- Zinc (Zn)
- Lithium (Li)
- Potassium chloride (Kcl)
- Sodium chloride (NaCl)
Each substance has its own molecular weight and valence, so the conversion will differ based on what you’re calculating.
