Answer:

1500 mmol.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for such monovalent potassium species, we can verify that 1 mEq equals 1 mmol, therefore, the required solution is shown below:


1500 mEq*(1mmol)/(1mEq) \\\\=1500 mmol

Which means that also 1500 mmol of monovalent potassium ions are contained in the liter.

Regards.
