Thimerosal is an organic compound (gram-molecular mass - 404.8 g/mol) used to inhibit bacterial growth. A 0.100%
solution of thimerosal is sometimes used as an antiseptic.
Assume that this solution has a density of 1.00 g/mL.
a. How many grams of thimerosal are found in 0.500 g of
0.100% solution?
b. How many grams of thimerosal are required to make
50.0 g of 0.100% solution?
c. What mass of thimerosal must be mixed with 25.0 g of
water to make a 0.100% solution?
d. How many grams of thimerosal are required to make
75.0 mL of 0.100% solution?
e. What volume of 0.100% solution contains 0.750 g of
thimerosal?
