Sterile solutions of potassium chloride containing 5 mEq/mL are available in 20 mL containers. Calculate the amount, in grams, of potassium chloride in the container.

Answer 1

KCl = 39.1 + 35.5 = 74.6 = molar mass
equivalent mass = 74.6
1 mEq = 0.0746
5 mEq/mL x 20 mL = 100 mEq
100 mEq x 0.0746 g/mEq = ? grams
