High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is the good cholesterol because adequate levels reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. HDL levels between 40. and 59 mg/dL are typical for a healthy individual. What is this range of HDL cholesterol in units of mol/L? The formula for cholesterol is C27H46O.
Saccharin is the active ingredient in many sweeteners used today. It is made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen. When 7.500 g of saccharin are burned in oxygen, 12.6 g CO2, 1.84 g H2O, and 2.62 g SO2 are obtained. Another experiment using the same mass of sample (7.500 g) shows that saccharin has 7.65% N. What is the simplest formula for saccharin?

Two general chemistry students working together in the lab weigh out 0.832 g of CaCl2 2 H2O into a crucible. After heating the sample for a short time and allowing the crucible to cool, the students determine that the sample has a mass of 0.739 g. They then do a quick calculation. On the basis of this calculation, what should they do next? (a) Congratulate themselves on a job well done. (b) Assume the bottle of CaCl2 2 H2O was mislabeled; it actually contained something different. (c) Heat the crucible again, and then reweigh it.
A 0.755-g sample of hydrated copper(II) sulfate CuSo4xH2O was heated carefully until it had changed completely to anhydrous copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4 ) with a mass of 0.4183 g. Determine the value of x. [This number is called the number of waters of hydration of copper(II) sulfate. It specifies the number of water molecules per formula unit ofCuSO4 in the hydrated crystal.]
