The number of moles of K+ that are on 750 mL of the patient's blood is = 3.375moles.

How to calculate blood potassium levels

Since mmol is one-thousandth of a mole also a mEq is one-thousandth of an equivalent. Therefore both can be used interchangeably.

That is 4.5mEq/L of potassium =  4.5mmol/L

If 4.5 moles = 1000ml ( 1 liter =1000ml)

x mole = 750 ml

Make x the subject of formula,

x mole = 750 × 4.5 / 1000

            = 3,375/1000

            = 3.375moles

Therefore, the number of moles of  K+ that are on 750 mL of the patient's blood is = 3.375moles.
