Dear all,

Please I need you to help confirm and/or correct this conversion of peroxide value of an oil sample from meq/kg to mmol/L.

The details:

If an oil sample has peroxide value of 5 milliequivalent of Oxygen per Kg, density = 0.889 g/ml. Its conversion to mmol/L is?

If 1 mmol of O2 = 2 meq, therefore, 5 meq = 2.5 mmol

5 meq/kg  x 1/2 = 2.5 mmol/kg.       2.5 mmol/Kg x 1 kg/1000 g x 0.889 g/ml x 1000 ml/L = 2.22 mmol/ L (2.22 mM)

Can you please confirm this conversion?

Thank you

Looks OK to me.
