Re: how many protons? - 03-30-2008, 02:10 PM

A 70 kg body would have approximately 7*10^27 atoms
Of that, 4.7*10^27 would be hydrogen atoms, which have one proton and one electron each. Another 1.8*10^27 would be oxygen, which has 8 protons, 8 neutrons and 8 electrons. There are 7.0*10^26 carbon atoms, which have 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons. Now, let's add that all up
Protons Neutrons Electrons

Hydrogen 4.7*10^27 0 4.7*10^27

Oxygen 1.4*10^28 1.4*10^28 1.4*10^28

Carbon 4.2*10^27 4.2*10^27 4.2*10^27

Total 2.3*10^28 1.8*10^28 2.3*10^28

the last 1% are trace metals...
with that said we are pretty much dirty water i guess kinda like a fish shit filled pond. so for even better odds for your wish go to your local lake and wish on a proton there.

we are the soup!
