The natural abundances of elements in the human body, expressed as percent by mass, are: oxygen (o),65 percent; carbon (c), 18 percent; hydrogen (h), 10 percent; nitrogen (n), 3 percent; calcium (ca), 1.6 percent; phosphorus (p), 1.2 percent; all other elements, 1.2 percent. calculate the mass in grams of each element in the body of a 62-kg person.

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

Explanation:

why do the isotopes of a particular element behave differently in nuclear reactions but the same in chemical reactions? chemical reactions involve changes to electrons in an atom; isotopes do not differ in electrons, and so they react the same way during chemical changes.

c is the answer because when something is left after something evaporates that shows the chemical change.
