Hey Micah, thanks for the session. Was very helpful as always. Quick question, for question 7 on numeracy, if the question asked for the number of mmol of calcium, what would the answer then be? Would it be the same as the number of mmol of calcium carbonate?

[@londonpharmacistnetwork6707]

Yes, absolutely

[@londonpharmacistnetwork6707]

Yes it would be the same in this case.

Hi Micah, I just have a quick question. If a question asks how many mmols of sodium are in 1g of sodium bicarbonate (Na2CO3) mr= 106, would we have to multiply by 2? Ie (1000mg/106) x 2

[@londonpharmacistnetwork6707]

You don’t need to multiply by 2 again as this has already been done to calculate 106g/mol . So just 106 as it is.

[@connorfrost153]

@@londonpharmacistnetwork6707 Ah I see. So just to clarify, if it asks calculate the mmol of sodium we would simply do: 1000/106 = 9.43 mmol of Na Is that right?

[@londonpharmacistnetwork6707]

@@connorfrost153 that’s right . Quick one for you. How would you find the mass of sodium from the mmol you got now?

[@connorfrost153]

@@londonpharmacistnetwork6707 To find the mass of sodium we would multiply by the RMM, 23. But as its Na2CO3 we would multiply by 46?

@@connorfrost153 yes multiply by 46 as there are 2 lots of sodium
