How many grams of magnesium would be a typical amount in a 60.kg adult?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nata [24]3 years ago
6 0

Magnesium plays a vital role in the function and structure of the body.

The adult human body consist of 25 grams of magnesium i.e. 0.25 % of the human body composition approximately.

Therefore,  for a 60 kg adult, then the amount of magnesium in their body would be

0.25\times \frac{60 kg}{100}

= 0.15 kg

Convert kg to g:

1 kg = 1000 g

So, 0.15 kg = 0.15 \times 1000 = 150 grams

Thus, amount of magnesium in 60 kg adult is equal to 150 grams

What elements are being reduced and oxidized in this chemical formula?
dangina [55]

Answer: The element Na (Sodium) is getting oxidized and Hydrogen is getting reduced.

Explanation:

Oxidation reactions are the reactions in which addition of oxygen takes place.

For a given reaction:

2Na(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2(g)+2NaOH(aq.)

Sodium is getting oxidized because there is an addition of reaction with that element.

Hydrogen is getting reduced because there is a removal of oxygen with that element.
