I'm reading through several of the problems, but have already found an error:
For problem 1.14, the problem specifies that we're dealing with molecular oxygen (O2, with 32g/mole), rather than atomic oxygen (O, with 16g/mole). Thus, one should replace 0.21(16) with 0.21(32) in the final line of the problem, for an answer of ~29g/mole.
This is verified by checking a third-party site, such as which has a much more detailed breakdown of air and specifies the molecular mass of air as 28.97g/mole, which is extremely close to my answer, and quite different from the answer in the solutions of 25.59g/mole.
While these solutions may be handy for checking your work, also check the sanity of the solutions by verifying with a third-party.
