1 millequivilant is not immediately convertible to a single value in mg.
The value varies by chemical and by reaction.
1 milliequivalent is 1/1000 of an element's equivalent weight.
One equivalent weight is the amount of an element that will react with or replace one (actually 1.008) parts by weight hydrogen or eight (8.000) parts by weight oxygen. (Ref.McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 1974)
