I think you are referring to Potassium Benzoate, or the potassium salt of benzoic acid. It is used as a food preservative in acidic foods like soda. It is generally considered safe but in it's pure form it may cause irritation to skin, eyes and mucous membrane.

How many grams of the compound trinitrotoluene are needed to prepare 250 ml of a 0.100 M solution of the compound?

C7H5N3O6 Molarity = moles of solute/Liters of solution (250 ml = 0.25 Liters ) 0.100 M C7H5N3O6 = X moles/0.25 L = 0.025 moles -------------------------now, 0.025 moles C7H5N3O6 (227.14 grams/1 mole C7H5N3O6) = 5.68 grams TNT ====================a good firecracker!
