I was wondering average atomic mass is of a fully grown male human. What I mean by this is, if we consider the human body to be comprised of mainly Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and other trace elements like Calcium, Sodium, Phosphorus, etc. Is it possible to determine an estimate about what the mass of the average atom is in our body? I'm guessing it would be about as heavy as carbon, but maybe less since hydrogen is very prevalent biologically.
My guess is the mass of the average atom in the human body is A = 10. Has anyone ever done a study of this, or is it too difficult to ascertain the proportions of atoms in our body? hmmm...
