Meq To Mg Calculator – Convert milliequivalent to mg

Enter mEq value and equivalent weight in mg/mEq calculator, enter 2 for mEq and 23 for sodium’s equivalent weight. You can also select common elements from the dropdown to auto-fill equivalent weights.

The conversion will be displayed in milligrams (mg).

To convert 5 meq with an equivalent weight of 40 g. To find the total in milligrams, formula used is mg = 5 × 40 × 1000, which results in 200,000 mg. The final result is that 5 meq is equivalent to 200,000 mg.

For this table, we use potassium chloride (KCl) as an example, with a molecular weight of 74.5 mg/mEq.

mg = mEq × molecular weight (mg/mEq)

Meq To Mg Conversion Formula

The formula for converting milliequivalents (meq) to milligrams (mg) is:

mg = meq × Equivalent Weight (g) × 1000

Where:

• meq: Milliequivalents
• Equivalent Weight (g): The compound’s weight corresponding to 1 equivalent of a chemical reaction.

Milligrams = Milliequivalents × Equivalent Weight

Parameter:

• Milliequivalents (mEq): Number of mEq to convert
• Equivalent Weight: mg/mEq for the specific element
• Milligrams (mg): Final mass in milligrams

Common Values:

• Na+ = 23 mg/mEq
• K+ = 39.1 mg/mEq
• Ca++ = 20 mg/mEq
• Mg++ = 12.15 mg/mEq
• Cl- = 35.45 mg/mEq

For 2 mEq of sodium (Na+): 2 × 23 = 46 mg. The equivalent weight of sodium is 23 mg/mEq.

How to Convert Milliequivalent To Mg?

To convert from mEq to mg, multiply the mEq value by the element’s equivalent weight. To convert 3 mEq of potassium (K+), multiply 3 × 39.1 = 117.3 mg.

For 1 mEq of potassium: mg = (1 × 39.1) / 1 = 39.1 mg

To convert 40 mEq of potassium: mg = (40 × 39.1) / 1 = 1564 mg.

For 100 mEq of potassium: mg = (100 × 39.1) / 1 = 3910 mg.

What is Meq and Mg?

Milliequivalent (mEq): A milliequivalent is a unit that expresses the amount of chemical activity of an electrolyte. It represents one-thousandth of an equivalent weight and is commonly used in medicine to measure electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and calcium.

Milligram (mg): A milligram is a unit of mass equal to one-thousandth of a gram. It’s the standard unit for measuring medication doses and electrolyte amounts. Converting between mEq and mg requires knowing the specific element’s equivalent weight.
