help me with this osmolarity problem, please!


"Potassium phosphate:

Each ml contains 224mg of monobasic kphos (KH2PO4), and 236mg of dibasic kphos (K2HPO4). 93 mg phosphorus/ml = 3 mMol. 170.3 mg K+/ml = 4.4 meq. Osmolarity: 12,000 mOsm/L."

i can't figure out how they get 93 mg phosphorus/ml = 3 mMol. 170.3 mg K+/ml = 4.4 meq. and Osmolarity: 12,000 mOsm/L.

hope some people out there can give me some advice.

thanks a bunch!
