Question
**Ketamine Calculation Exercise**

**Description:**

Ketamine, sometimes used as an adjuvant to general anesthesia, is available as a 1.0% (w/v) solution.

**Problem Statement:**

Calculate the mass of ketamine in 0.50 mL of this solution. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and is rounded to the correct number of significant digits.

**Interface Elements Explained:**

1. **Input Box:** 
   - A text box is present for entering the calculated answer.

2. **Controls:**
   - A graphical user interface (GUI) with buttons is shown below the input box:
     - A square box that, when checked, may relate to additional functionality or steps (e.g., "x10" indicating multiplication by ten).
     - A large "X" button possibly for clearing the input.
     - A circular "undo" button for reversing the last action.
     - A question mark button, likely for help or further instructions.

**Calculations Help:**

To calculate the mass of ketamine in the solution:

1. **Step 1:** Understand that 1.0% (w/v) means 1.0 g of ketamine per 100 mL of solution.

2. **Step 2:** Set up a proportion to find the mass (m) in 0.50 mL.
   
   \[
   \frac{1.0 \text{ g}}{100 \text{ mL}} = \frac{m}{0.50 \text{ mL}}
   \]

3. **Step 3:** Solve for m:

   \[
   m = \frac{1.0 \text{ g} \times 0.50 \text{ mL}}{100 \text{ mL}}
   = 0.005 \text{ g} 
   \]

So, the mass of ketamine in 0.50 mL of this solution is 0.005 g.
