Consider for a moment that the dust and gas reservoirs in the solar nebula both had oxygen

Question:

Consider for a moment that the dust and gas reservoirs in the solar nebula both had oxygen isotope compositions at G in Figure 9.17. Where would the isotope compositions plot if we mixed small quantities of pure 16O into the system?

(Remember the δ values of pure 16O from Question 9.6 and consider where this would fall on a plot like Figure 9.17.)

Data from question 9.6 What are the δ17O and δ18O of ocean water? What are the δ17O and δ18O of pure 16O?
