K-TAB tablets contain 20 mEq of potassium in the form of potassium chloride. (1) is milligrams of potassium chloride in each tablet. Round to the nearest whole number. Do not include units. (MW of KCl is 74.5)

Step 1 is to identify the formula for converting mEq to mg mg = (mEq × MW) ÷ valence Valence of KCl = 1 MW = 74.5 Step 2 is to calculate the milligrams mg = (20 × 74.5) ÷ 1 20 × 74.5 = 1490 (1490 ÷ 1) = 1490 Result at this step = 1490 mg Step 3 is to round to the nearest whole number 1490 = 1490 Answer: 1490
