Chapter 1, Problem 5P
A sample of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is synthesized in the laboratory. It contains 30.0 g carbon and 40.0 g oxygen. Another sample of ascorbic acid, isolated from lemons (an excellent source of the vitamin), contains 12.7 g carbon. Compute the mass of oxygen (in grams) in the second sample.

A student performed an experiment to determine the percent water in a sample of food and collected the following data
: Mass of empty watch glass: 43.5245g
Mass of watch glass and undried food: 50.6270g
4. Mass of watch glass and dried food: 45.5485g
Calculate the percent water in the food sample
A bullet recovered from a crime scene has a mass of 9.68 g. A suspect was arrested for possession of a recently fired .357 Magnum revolver. The masses of bullets are traditionally measured using the unit grain. Given that 1 grain = 0.0648 g, is the bullet consistent with coming from a .357 Magnum revolver, which is available with bullets that range from 125 to 180 grains?
