The law of constant composition states that pure samples of the same compound contain the same element in the same ratio by mass irrespective of the source from which the compound is obtained.

Considering the given ascorbic acid samples:

Laboratory sample contains 1.50 gg of carbon and 2.00 gg of oxygen

mass ratio of oxygen to carbon is 2 : 1.5

Isolated sample will contain 2/1.5 * 6.45 g of oxygen.

Mass of oxygen in isolated sample = 8.6 g

In conclusion, the mass of oxygen is determined from the mass ratio of oxygen and carbon in the compound.
