The answer is 4.8 milliequivalents of potassium chloride per dose. This is calculated by multiplying the percentage of potassium chloride (10%) by the total volume of the syrup (480 mL) to get 48 mL of potassium chloride. Then, divide this by 10 to get the number of milliequivalents per mL (4.8). Finally, multiply this by the prescribed dose (1 tablespoonful) to get the total number of milliequivalents per dose (4.8).
