phenytoin correction equation
total level / [(0.2 x albumin) + 0.1]
corrected calcium equation
[(0.4 - albumin) x 0.8] + calcium
specific gravity equation
g / mL
osmolarity equation (mOsm/L)
[(g/L) / MW] x dissociation # x 1000
what compounds have a dissociation # of 1
dextrose and mannitol
what compounds have a dissociation # of 2
KCl, NaCl, Na acetate, MgSO4
which compound has a dissociation # of 3
CaCl
which compound has a dissociation # of 4
Na citrate
isotonicity equation
E = (58.5 x isotonicity #) / (MW x 1.8)
how to determine ionization number
if dissociation # is 1, ionization is 1
each dissociation # adds 0.8 (1.8, 2.6, 3.4, 4.2)
mol and mmol equations
mol = g/MW & mmol = mg/MW
mEq equation
mEq = (mg x valence) / MW
which compounds have a valence of 1
ammonium chloride
KCl
potassium gluconate

sodium bicarb
NaCl
which compounds have a valence of 2
calcium carbonate
calcium chloride
ferrous sulfate
lithium carbonate
magnesium sulfate
