Question: are meq/l and mmol/l the same?
Answer: In medicine and biochemistry A certain amount of univalent ions provides the same amount of equivalents while the same amount of divalent ions provides twice the amount of equivalents. For example, 1 mmol (0.001 mol) of Na+ is equal to 1 meq, while 1 mmol of Ca++ is equal to 2 meq.
