13. A fish meal sample has the following composition: protein 20%, moisture 12%, additive 66%. The
sample is placed in a drying oven and subsequent analysis gave a value of 22% protein. Calculate
the % moisture content of the dried sample.
14. 1.000 g of soil, as-received, gave a moisture content of 14.00%. The oven-dried sample, completely
moisture-free, showed 18.00% K. Find the percentage of K in the sample as received.
