Hello! I have chopped up strawberries that I am dehydrating. I spread them out on a paper towel and remove the excess water.

How much Magnesium can you take per day?

I am currently taking Magnesium supplements to correct symptoms of Magnesium deficiency.

How many milligrams of magnesium is safe to take per day? I’ve heard anywhere from 400-1000mg per day, so as of now I’m assuming that you just shouldn’t take more than 1000mg?

Thanks :)

Can you show the work so I can understand

Ok so I take this medication that lowers my potassium usually with a potassium supplement of 300 mg
this morning I saw that I finished the supplements yesterday, instead of skipping the med that lowers my potassium I stubbornly took it
now I’m paying for it….
It’s 5:23 in the morning and I’ve been awake for about half an hour with horrible leg cramps
I know it’s my potassium because I felt more symptoms like nausea and weakness throughout the day
what I wanna know is if there’s any way to get rid of these pains….
I tried massaging my legs and it makes it worse
I’m afraid that if I try to stand I’ll really screw myself up
please help :\

a) Calculate the concentration of each compound in g L-1

b) Calculate the molarity of each compound

c) Calculate the concentration of potassium ions in the solution, in mol L-1

d) Calculate the concentration of chloride ions in the solution, in mol L-1
