Answer:

0.0225 M

Explanation:

In one liter of this solution, there are 45 mEq of Ca⁺².

1 mEq of Ca⁺² is equal to 20 mg of Ca⁺. We know this by dividing its molar mass (40) by the charge of the ion (2).

Meaning that 45 mEq of Ca⁺² is equal to (45 * 20) 900 mg of Ca⁺².

Now we convert 900 mg of Ca⁺² into moles, using its molar mass:

  • 900 mg / 1000 = 0.9 g
  • 0.9 g Ca⁺² ÷ 40 g/mol = 0.0225 mol Ca⁺²

Finally we calculate the molarity of the solution:

  • Molarity = moles / liters
  • 0.0225 mol / 1 L = 0.0225 M
