2% testosterone qs ad petroleum jelly 240g. How many ml of testosterone is needed to make this compound?
2% means 2g/100; therefore, for 240 g you want 2 x (240/100) = 4.8g testosterone + (240-4.8)g pet jelly.
To calculate the amount of testosterone needed to make this compound, we need to know the concentration of testosterone in the petroleum jelly. Without this information, it is not possible to determine the precise amount of testosterone required.
To figure out how many milliliters (ml) of testosterone is needed to make the compound, we first need to calculate 2% of petroleum jelly in grams.
Step 1: Calculate the weight of petroleum jelly in grams.
Given: Petroleum jelly = 240 grams
Step 2: Determine the weight of testosterone in the compound.
Given: Testosterone content = 2%
To find the weight of testosterone, we can use the formula:
Testosterone = (Testosterone content / 100) * Weight of petroleum jelly
Let's plug in the values:
Testosterone = (2 / 100) * 240 grams
Testosterone = 0.02 * 240 grams
Testosterone = 4.8 grams
Step 3: Convert grams of testosterone to milliliters (ml).
Conversion factor: 1 gram of testosterone = 1 ml
Therefore, 4.8 grams of testosterone is equal to 4.8 ml.
So, to make this compound, you would need 4.8 ml of testosterone.
