Question

The natural abundances of elements in the human body, expressed as percent by mass, are: oxygen (O),65%; Carbon(C), 18%; Hydrogen (H), 10%; Nitrogen (N) 3%; Calcium (Ca), 1.6%; Phosphorus (P) 1.2%; all other elements, 1.2%. calculate the mass in grams of each element in the body of a 62-Kg person.

 

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

The given data contains,

person weighs =62 kg =62000 g.

Natural abundances in mass percent are,

O =65%

C =18%

H=10%

N=3%

Ca=1.6%

P=1.2%
