1. A cancer patient needs to increase his ascorbic acid (C,HsO) intake to fight cancer cells.
a) How many moles of ascorbic acid does he need to complete the doctor's prescription of 390.0g of
intravenous ascorbic acid for one month?
b) How many molecules of ascorbic acid does he need every month to fight the cancer cells?

2. Aspartame (Ci4H18N2Os) is a synthetic table sugar substitute used in food
and drinks. If a food product needs 0.25 g of CHH18N2O, to sweeten the Queenie cupcake, and you ate this food
product, how many moles and molecules of aspartame have you eaten?
3. During exercise, lactic acid (CH.Os) forms in the muscle causing muscle cramp. If 5.0 g of lactic acid
(C,H.Os) concentrate in your leg muscle, how many moles of lactic acid (C3H.Os) are causing you pain?
4. Paraffin (C2H4) is a wax used in candle-making. During combustion, a 20.0 g candle produces 1.42
moles of CO2. How many molecules of CO2 are released in the atmosphere after using the candle?
5. Moth balls (paradichlorobenzene-C,H,Cl) are used as cockroach repellent. It is often placed inside the
cabinet. If 1 piece of moth ball weighs 5.0g and your mother put 3 pieces in your cabinet, how many molecules of
paradichlorobenzene- CH.Cl2 (Molar Mass 147.00 g/mol) will be circulating inside your cabinet considering all the
moth balls have sublimed?
