The natural abundances of elements in the human body, expressed as percent by mass, are oxygen (o), 65 percent; carbon (c), 18 p

ercent; hydrogen (h), 10. Percent; nitrogen (n), 3.0 percent; calcium (ca), 1.6 percent; phosphorus (p), 1.2 percent; all other elements, 1.2 percent. Enter your answers in scientific notation. Calculate the mass in grams of each element in the body of a 64−kg person.

Answer:

O: 4.2 × 10⁴ g

C: 1.2 × 10⁴ g

H: 6.4 × 10³ g

N: 1.9 × 10³ g

Ca: 1.0 × 10³ g

P: 7.7 × 10² g

Other elements: 7.7 × 10² g

Explanation:

Natural abundances of elements in the human body (in percent by mass)

  • oxygen (O), 65%
  • carbon (C), 18%
  • hydrogen (H), 10%
  • nitrogen (N), 3.0%
  • calcium (Ca), 1.6%
  • phosphorus (P), 1.2%
  • all other elements, 1.2%

The mass of a body is 64 kg = 64 × 10³ g = 6.4 × 10⁴ g. We can calculate the mass of each element by <em>multiplying the body weight by the mass percent of each element</em>.

O: 6.4 × 10⁴ g × 65% = 4.2 × 10⁴ g

C: 6.4 × 10⁴ g × 18% = 1.2 × 10⁴ g

H: 6.4 × 10⁴ g × 10% = 6.4 × 10³ g

N: 6.4 × 10⁴ g × 3.0% = 1.9 × 10³ g

Ca: 6.4 × 10⁴ g × 1.6% = 1.0 × 10³ g

P: 6.4 × 10⁴ g × 1.2% = 7.7 × 10² g

Other elements: 6.4 × 10⁴ g × 1.2% = 7.7 × 10² g

It is given that the person weighs 62 kg = 62,000 g

Natural abundances in mass percent are:

O = 65%

C = 18%

H = 10%

N = 3.0%

Ca = 1.6%

P = 1.2%

Corresponding weights of the elements are:

O = 65/100 * 62000 g = 40.30 * 10^3 g

C = 18/100 * 62000 g = 11.16 * 10^3 g

H = 10/100 * 62000 g = 62.00 * 10^2 g

N = 3.0/100 * 62000 g = 18.60 * 10^2 g

Ca = 1.6/100 * 62000 g = 9.92 * 10^2 g

P = 1.2/100 * 62000 g = 7.44 * 10^2 g

How many carbon atoms are there in .500 mol of CO2?
AURORKA [14]

Answer: There are 3.011 \times 10^{23} atoms present in 0.500 mol of CO_{2}.

Explanation:

According to the mole concept, there are 6.022 \times 10^{23} atoms present in 1 mole of a substance.

In a molecule of CO_{2} there is only one carbon atom present. Therefore, number of carbon atoms present in 0.500 mol of CO_{2} are as follows.

1 \times 0.500 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\\= 3.011 \times 10^{23}

Thus, we can conclude that there are 3.011 \times 10^{23} atoms present in 0.500 mol of CO_{2}.

Why do the particles of objects have both kinetic and potential energy?  
OLEGan [10]
The particles of objects have both kinetic and potential energy because these forces are drive by the force of motion or stillness of an object. Potential energy is the a type of energy which an object possess however without motion. Kinetic energy in the other hand, is the energy in motion or if the object moves along from one space to another with respect to time. They both have these two energies by the presence of atoms in these entities.

Which statement best describes alpha decay?(1 point)
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

After the ejection of an alpha particle, the remaining nucleus has a mass number that is four less and an atomic number that is two less, so alpha decay is a type of nuclear fission.
