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

pychu [463]

Answer:

0.004012km

Explanation:

Problem:

Conversion of millimeters(mm) to Kilometers:

value given = 4012mm

Here, we are converting from a submultiple unit to a multiple unit.

Millimeter depicts 10⁻³m and kilometer stands for 10³m

Now, we must find how many exponents will take us from 10⁻³ to  10³

careful examination shows that if we multiply a power of 10⁶ to 10⁻³ it will give a 10³:

   i.e 10⁻³ x 10⁶ = 10⁻³⁺⁶ = 10³

Therefore,

       10⁶mm = 1km

      4,012mm = \frac{4012}{1000000} = 0.004012km

Fe(II) can be precipitated from a slightly basic aqueous solution by bubbling oxygen through the solution, which converts Fe(II)
vovangra [49]

Answer:

0,051g of O₂

Explanation:

The reaction of precipitation of Fe is:

4Fe(OH)⁺(aq) + 4OH⁻(aq) + O₂(g) + 2H₂O(l) → 4Fe(OH)₃(s)

<em>-Where the Fe(OH)⁺ is Fe(II) and Fe(OH)₃ is Fe(III)-</em>

This reaction is showing you need 1 mol of O₂(g) per 4 moles of Fe(II) for a complete reaction.

85mL= 0,085L of 0,075M Fe(II) are:

0,085L*0,075M = 6,34x10⁻³ moles of Fe(II)

For a complete reaction of 6,34x10⁻³ moles of Fe(II) you need:

6,34x10⁻³ moles of Fe(II)×\frac{1molO_2}{4moles Fe(II)} =

1.59x10⁻³ moles of O₂. In grams:

1.59x10⁻³ moles of O₂×\frac{32g}{1molO_2} = <em>0,051g of O₂</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!
