concentration of calcium ion mEq/L = 1.21 x 2 = 2.42mEq/L
Explanation:
given
concentration of calcium ion in blood = 1.21 mmol/L
Concentration in mEq/L = Concentration in mmol/L x valence of the ion
but Valence of Ca2+=2
The valence electron is the number of electron present in the outermost shell. Calcium belongs to the group2 elements also known as the alkaline earth metal, and their valence electron is 2.
Hence, concentration of calcium ion mEq/L = 1.21 x 2 = 2.42mEq/L
The female mosquitoes are the dangerous ones. They bite and draw blood. Male mosquitoes feed on flower nectar. Males have very hairy and fuzzy antennae (like a powder puff) whereas females have less hairy antennae.
