2 General Vocab & Definitions Table. Concentration of ions in blood plasma.* For examination purposes: know which ions are Ions particles which carry an electric charge; products of molecule dissociation present, but do not memorize concentrations. in solution Cations meq/l Anions meq/l Nonelectrolytes substances not dissociated in solution (e.g. urea, dextrose) Na + 42 Cl 24 Electrolytes substances with varying degrees of dissociation in solution (e.g. K + 5 HCO3 05 Ca sodium chloride) 5 HPO4 2 2 Mg +2 2 SO4 2 Milliequivalent (meq) used almost exclusively in the US by clinicians, organic acids 6 physicians, pharmacists, and manufacturers to express the concentration of proteinate 6 electrolytes in solution total 54 total 54 represents amount (mg) of a solute equal to /000 of its gram equivalent weight, taking into account valence of ions *under normal conditions expresses the chemical activity or combining power of a substance relative to the activity of mg of hydrogen Milliequivalent Calculations For a given chemical compound: meq cation = meq anion = meq compound **However, it is important to note that while a given chemical compound may contain an equal amount of cations and anions in terms of milliequivalents, the weight of those respective components is not necessarily equal. Table 2. Equivalent weight data for selected ions. For examination purposes: memorize only highlighted values, but make sure that (given sufficient information) you are able to calculate all values by utilizing the equation to the right. Make sure to memorize the equation!

3 Table 3. Conversion Equations & Examples Conversion Equation* Example How many milliequivalents of magnesium sulfate are represented in g of anhydrous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4)? meq = meq = mg valence Z MgSO4 000 mg 2 = 6.7 meq 20 mg to meq meq = mg valence Z Contained within the above calculation are the following steps: Equivalent weight (MgSO4) = Z MgSO4 valence = 20 2 = 60 g Equivalent weight (MgSO4) meq MgSO4 = = 60 g = g = 60 mg mg 000 mg = meq x meq x = 6.7 meq How many milligrams of Mg +2 represent 2.5 meq? mg= meq Z Mg valence mg= 2.5 meq 24 = 30 mg 2 meq to mg mg = meq Z valence Contained within the above calculation are the following steps: Equivalent weight (Mg) = Z Mg valence = 24 2 = 2 g Equivalent weight (MgSO4) meq MgSO4 = = 2 g = 0.02 g = 2 mg mg meq = x mg 2.5 meq x = 30 mg What is the concentration, in milligrams per milliliter, of a solution containing 2 meq of potassium chloride (KCl) per milliliter? mg/ml= meq/ml Z KCl valence mg/ml= 2 meq/ml 74.5 = 49 mg/ml meq/ml to mg/ml mg/ml = meq/ml Z valence Contained within the above calculation are the following steps: Equivalent weight (KCl) = Equivalent weight (KCl) meq KCl = meq/ml KCl = 2 meq ml Z KCl valence = 74.5 = 74.5 g = 74.5 g = g = 74.5 mg mg = 49 mg/ml meq * Z = atomic, formula, or molecular weight 3

4 ***REMEMBER: To find valence for molecules, find the absolute value of the total valence of the positive or negative radical. (See example below.) Example Problem What is the concentration, in grams per milliliter, of a solution containing 4 meq of calcium chloride (CaCl2 2H2O) per milliliter? To determine valence, we must consider the ions that this molecule will dissociate into. CaCl2 will dissociate into one Ca +2 ion and two Cl ions. The valence will be the absolute value of the total valence of the positive or negative radical: (+2) = 2 or 2 ( ) = 2 CaCl2 2H2O mg/ml= meq/ml Z valence The water of hydration molecules do not interfere with the calculations, but make sure to choose the correct molecular weight if given a table of values. (Differing water of hydration values will change MW.) In this case, Z = 47 Therefore, the valence for CaCl2 we will use in our calculation is 2. 4 meq/ml 47 2 = 294 mg/ml = g/ml Example Problem 2 What is the percent (w/v) concentration of a solution containing 00 meq of ammonium chloride per liter? The molecular weight of NH4Cl is mg/ml = meq/ml Z valence = (00 meq/000 ml) 53.5 = 5.35 mg ml = 5.35 g/l 5.35 g 000 ml = x g 00 ml x = g Therefore, the percent (w/v) concentration of the solution is 0.535%. Example Problem 3 A person is to receive 2 meq of sodium chloride per kilogram of body weight. If the person weighs 32 lb, how many milliliters of a 0.9% NaCl solution should be administered? meq Z NaCl valence 32 lb = 60 kg 2 meq/kg 60 kg = 20 meq = 20 meq 58.5 = 7020 mg = 7.02 g NaCl 0.9 g 00 ml = 7.02 g x ml x = 780 ml 4

5 Example Problem 4 How many milliequivalents of Na+ would be contained in a 30-mL dose of the following solution? Disodium hydrogen phosphate 8 g Sodium biphosphate 48 g Purified water ad 00 ml In solving this problem, each salt must be considered separately to obtain the total amount of sodium ion present. For disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2HPO4 7H20, Z = 268, valence = 2): meq = mg valence Z = 34.3 meq 00 ml 8000 mg = x meq 30 ml x = 40.3 meq = 34.3 meq For sodium biphosphate (NaH2PO4 H20, Z = 38, valence = ): meq = mg valence Z = meq 00 ml mg 38 = x meq 30 ml x = 04.3 meq = meq For our final step, we can now combine our two sources to find the total amount of milliequivalents in 30 ml of the compound: 40.3 meq meq = 44.6 meq Millimole and Micromole Calculations Molecular weight is the weight, in grams, of one mole of a substance ( mole = particles) Millimole (mmol) = one-thousandth of a mole Micromole (µmol) = one-millionth of a mole mmol = Z 000 where Z = molecular weight Example Problem How many millimoles of monobasic sodium phosphate (Z = 38) are present in 00 g of the substance? 38 g mol = 00 g x mol x = mol = 725 mmol **Make sure you can solve for other variables in the proportion as well. 5

6 Osmolarity Milliosmols of solute per liter of solution (mosmol/l) Depends on the total number of particles in solution, so dissociation plays a role in calculations Dextrose nonelectrolyte, mmol = formula weight in milligrams = mosmol NaCl electrolyte, dissociates into 2 particles (Na + & Cl ), mmol = 2 mosmol (assuming complete dissociation) CaCl2 electrolyte, dissociates into 3 particles (Ca + & 2Cl ), mmol = 3 mosmol (assuming complete dissociation) Na3C6H5O7 electrolyte, dissociates in to 4 particles (3Na + & C6H5O7 ), mmol = 4 mosmol Milliosmolar value of separate ions of an electrolyte may be obtained by dividing the concentration of the ion, in milligrams per liter, by its atomic weight Milliosmolar value of the whole electrolyte in solution is equal to the sum of the milliosmolar values of the separate ions Osmol = Z species where Z = molecular weight mosmol L = weight of substance (g L ) Z (g) number of species 000 (where number of species = number of particles substance dissociates into) In practice, as concentration increases actual osmolar values decrease because dissociation is not complete (calculations using the above equation are ideal and not actual) For example: for 0.9% NaCl solutions mosmol L = mosmol L = 9 g/l 58.5 g weight (g L ) number of species 000 Z (g) = mosmol L 308 mosmol/l Therefore the ideal osmolarity of the solution is 308 mosmol/l, but actual osmolarity is approximately 286 mosmol/l. Manufacturers may label products with calculated ideal osmolarities or with experimental/actual osmolarities important to identify this distinction in practice! Osmolarity vs. osmolality Osmolarity = mosmol of solute per liter of solution FYI: Osmolality = mosmol of solute per kg of solvent plasma (mosmol/kg) = 2([Na] + [K]) + [BUN] [Glucose] 8 measured by osmometer normal serum range = 275 to 300 mosmol/kg Where abnormal values can occur in the event of shock, Na & K are plasma concentrations in meq/l BUN & glucose concentrations are in mg/dl (mg/00 ml) trauma, burns, water intoxication (overload), electrolyte imbalance, hyperglycemia, or renal failure Dilute aqueous solutions may have approximately equal values, but as concentration increases the values diverge significantly Example Problem A solution contains 5% of anhydrous dextrose (Z = 80 g) in SWFI. How many mosmol/l are represented by this concentration? 5% solution= 5 g 00 ml = 50 g = 50 g/l 000 ml Dextrose is a nonelectrolyte, so number of species = (no dissociation) mosmol L = mosmol L = 50 g/l 80 g weight (g L ) number of species 000 Z (g) 000 = mosmol/l 278 mosmol/l 6

7 Example Problem 2 A solution contains 56 mg of K + ions (Z = 39) per 00 ml. How many milliosmols are represented in a liter of the solution? 56 mg 00 ml =.56 g =.56 g/l 000 ml Already dissociated, so number of species = mosmol L = mosmol L = weight (g L ) number of species 000 Z (g).56 g/l 39 g 000 = 40 mosmol/l Example Problem 3 A solution contains 0 mg% of Ca ++ ions (Z = 40 g). How many milliosmols are represented in liter of the solution? 0 mg% = 0 mg 00 ml = 0. g = 0. g/l 000 ml Already dissociated, so number of species = mosmol L = mosmol L = weight (g L ) number of species 000 Z (g) 0. g/l 40 g 000 = 2.5 mosmol L Daily Water Requirement Calculations for Healthy Adult Patients (FYI) ml/m 2 /day = 500 ml/m 2 BSA or ml/kg/day = 20 to 35 ml/kg or ml/kg/day = 500 ml + [20 ml (weight 20 kg)] 7
