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.

Solid carbon (C) can burn in oxygen (O2). Select
babunello [35]

Answer:

OCO

Another way of writing CO₂

Explanation:

A reaction equation has <u>reactants on the left</u> and <u>products on the right</u>.

The reactants are carbon and oxygen. The product is carbon dioxide.

C + O₂ → CO₂

You might see the equation both ways.

C + O₂ → OCO

C + O₂ in the products would mean no reaction has occurred. The problem can <u>solid carbon can burn in oxygen</u>, so a reaction will occur. For no reaction, you would put "NR" in the products.

<u>OCO is the structural way of writing CO₂.</u> Both have one carbon atom (C) and two oxygen atoms (O).

C + 2O is not possible. Oxygen, if alone, has to be at least O₂ because it's a <u>diatomic molecule</u>.
