Chapter 2, Problem 60E
Before electronic flashes were commonly used in photography, a darkened area was lit by a device known as flashbulb. This one-use device was essentially a glass bulb filled with oxygen that encased a metal wire. An electrical discharge from the camera ignited the wire, causing a brief flash of light as the wire quickly burned. How would you expect the mass of a flashbulb before use to compare with its mass after use? Explain.

Unfermented grape juice used to make wine is called a “must.” The sugar content of the must determines whether the wine will be dry or sweet. The sugar content is found by measuring the density of the must. If the density is lower than 1.070 g/mL, then sugar syrup is added until thedensity reaches 1.075 g/mL. Suppose that you have a sample taken from a must whose mass is 47.28 g and whose volume is 44.60 mL. Describe how you would determine whether or not sugar syrup needs to be added and if so, how would you estimate how much sugar syrup to add?
