To calculate milliequivalents (mEq), you use the formula: mEq = (mg of the substance / molecular weight) × valence. First, determine the mass of the substance in milligrams and its molecular weight (in grams per mole). Then, divide the mass by the molecular weight to find the number of moles, and multiply by the valence (the number of charges the ion carries) to convert to milliequivalents. Remember to adjust the units by multiplying by 1,000 to express the result in milliequivalents.
