[@faizahazman1528]

May I ask some question? the unit of MW that we know is g/mol so we need to do a calculation to change the unit first (21:40), but why in some questions you automatically change the unit to mg/mmol (24:16) ?

[@PharmaceuticalCalculationsEasy]

Thank you @faizahazman1528 for watching and for the comment. Ideally you should do the conversion from g/mol to mg/mmol. However, the way the conversion turns out you will end up having the same numeric value for the mg/mmol conversion as you did for the g/mol. So you could use the value given for the MW in g/mol but recognize that you are working in mg/mmol for the mEq calculations. Hope this helps.

Sir, isn't the valence of Li+ equals to 2 ? Thanks

[@PharmaceuticalCalculationsEasy]

Thank you Bouchaib for watching and for the comment. The valence of Li+ by itself is 1. Hope this helps.

[@hydrologicmodeling9020]

For every other question, you found the valence of the compound but not for Li2CO3. What is the valence of that compound? Is it 1 or 2? The ion has 1+ charge, so its one, but what about the entire compound?

[@PharmaceuticalCalculationsEasy]

Thank you hydrologic modeling for watching and for the comment. The valence of Li2CO3 is 2. Hope this helps.

[@angieyang218]

Could I please know why the valence of the compound of MgSO4 is 2? Sorry that I do not know about it. Since that the valence of Mg2+ is 2 positive, and the valence of (SO4)2- is 2 negative, should the valence of MgSO4 cancel out? I am confused here. Thank you!

[@PharmaceuticalCalculationsEasy]

The valence of a compound is either the absolute charge on the cation or anion that is produced when the compound dissociates in an aqueous environment. So for MgSO4 the cation is Mg2+ and the anion is (SO4)2-. Hence, you may find the valence by taking the absolute of +2 (from Mg2+) which is 2 or the absolute of -2 (from (SO4)2-) which is also 2. Thus the valence of MgSO4 is 2. Kindly note that you do not add or subtract the charges on the ions. Hope this helps.

[@anonymousmanifestor5237]

I'm just wondering (sorry, this is a silly question), how come for the lithium example you x4 as there are 4 300mg tablets(to find out the total wt), but the MW wt is not x 4? Kinda confused by that (hope my question makes sense)

[@PharmaceuticalCalculationsEasy]

Thank you Bimba for watching and for the comment. Your question is a valid one and highly appreciated. The mass of lithium carbonate depends on the number of tablets and that is why we multiply by 4 since there are four tablets. However, the molecular weight of a compound depends on the atoms present in the compound and is obtained by adding the atomic weight values of the atoms in a compound. Hence, the molecular weight of lithium carbonate is independent of the number of tablets and that is why we do not multiply by 4. Hope this helps.

Hello Doctor, if 104.65 mEq of Na+2HPO4 .H2O NA DIBASIC PHOSPHATE / DOSE SO Na+ will be same mEq or divided by 2

[@PharmaceuticalCalculationsEasy]

Thank you Hany for watching and for the question. Generally, for a given chemical compound, the milliequivalents of cation equals the milliequivalents of anion equals the milliequivalents of the chemical compound. Hence, the mEq of Na+ will be 104.65 mEq which is the same as Na2HPO4.H2O. Hope this helps.

Hello I am having trouble with these calculation. I need this in a week time for exam. Question 1; Use the following information to calculate the theoretical osmolality of the solution. 0.943g of NaCl was dissolved in 100.18mL in volumetric flask. (the density of water = 0.9982g/cm at 20 C, molecular weight of NaCl = 58.44g, number of ions = 2 and osmotic coefficient = 0.93) Question 2; An osmol gap of 82mmol/L was calculated (measured (400) - calculated (318)). Convert the osmol gap to alcohol (mmol/L) and percentage.

[@PharmaceuticalCalculationsEasy]

Question 1: [0.93 x ((0.943 g/100.18 mL)*(1000 mL/1 L))/58.44) x 2] x 1000 = 299.6 mOsmol/L Question 2: mOsmol = mmol x # particles; number of particles for alcohol is 1. Hence: 82 = mmol x 1. Therefore, mmol/L = 82 mmol/L Now, MW of alcohol = 46 82 mmol x 46 mg/mmol = 3772 mg which is 3.72 g. Hence, [(3.72 g/ 1000mL) = (x/100 mL)] x = 0.372%. I hope this helps
