A solution contains 0.750 g of Mg2 in enough water to make a 1875 mL solution. What is the milliequivalents of Mg2 per liter (mEq/L) for this solution?
mass of Mg+2 = 0.750 g
moles of Mg+2 = 0.750 / 24 = 0.03086 mol
volume = 1875 mL = 1.875 L
concentration = 30.86 / 1.875 = 16.458 mmol / L
concentration = 16.458 mmol / L x valence
= 16.458 x 2
concentration = 32.9 mEq / L
