Between 1.00 & 1.5 grams would be the normal amount

the amount of elements may vary from person to person however based on analysis, averages and trends the composition of human body is like it mainly contains about 60% of oxygen by mass, 23% of carbon by mass, 10% hydrogen,2.5% nitrogen and then near by 1.4-1.5% of calcium

Thus if a man is weighing 60kg then the approximate or expected amount of calcium will be :

1.4% X 60kg = 0.84 kg

We may say that it will have 800-900 grams of calcium in its body.

What does the arrangement of the periodic table tell scientists
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The arrangement of the periodic table leads us to visualize certain trends among the atoms.

Elements are arranged from left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number.

The vertical columns (groups) of the periodic table are arranged so that all its elements have the same number of valence electrons (outer ring). All elements within a certain group share similar properties.

The rows are called periods. All elements in a row have the same number of electron shells.

Explain this method (Froth floatation method)..........​
Svetach [21]

Answer:

froth flotation is a technique commonly used in the mining industry. In this technique, particles of interest are physically separated from a liquid phase as a result of differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to the surface of the particles, based upon their hydrophobicity.

Explanation:

Froth floatation method is commonly used to concentrate sulphide ore such as galena (PbS), zinc blende (ZnS) etc. (ii) In this method, the metaalic ore particles which are perferentially wetted by oil can be separated from gangue. (iii) In this method, the crushed ore is suspended in water and mixed with frothing agent such as pine oil, eucalyptus oil etc. (iv) A small quantity of sodium ethyl xanthate which act as a collector is also added. (v) A froth is generated by blowing air through this mixture. (vi) The collector molecules attach to the ore particles and make them water repellent. (vii) As a result, ore parrticles, wetted by the oil, rise to the surface along with the froth. (viii) The froth is skimmed off and dried to recover the concentration ore. (ix) The gangue particles that are preferentially wetted by water settle at the bottom.

A swimming-pool worker wants the pool's pH to be 7.2. She comes by to test the water and finds that the pH is 6.2. What should s
vichka [17]
The swimming pools pH is below 7, meaning it is slightly acidic. If you want to make the pH higher, you must add a base which by definition has a pH higher than 7.
