How many milliequivalents are represented by a mole of bicarbonate ions (HCO3-)?
What will be an ideal response?
1000 milliequivalents. This is calculated by taking the equivalent value of the molecule, which equals the molarity of the molecule (1 in this case) times the number of charges the molecule carries (in this case, the minus symbol indicates a charge of negative one, i.e., -1), so 1×1 = 1 equivalent. 1 equivalent = 1000 milliequivalents.
