What percentages of the exhaled air are carbon dioxide and oxygen?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
The air that you exhale is made up of approximately 16% to 17% oxygen and about 4% to 5% carbon dioxide.
(inhaled air is about 21% oxygen and only 0.04%, a fractional trace, of carbon dioxide)

How oxygen and carbon dioxide are carried by the blood?
Mostly nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.
Explain the amount of various gases in an inhaled and an exhaled air?
Inhaled airNitrogen: 78%Oxygen: 21%Carbon Dioxide: 0.04%Water Vapour: 0.96%Exhaled AirNitrogen: 78%Oxygen: 17%Carbon Dioxide: 4%Water Vapour: 3%
How does concentration of inhaled and exhaled air differ?
Inhaled air contains more oxygen than carbon dioxide and other gases. Exhaled air contains mostly carbon dioxide as the inhaled oxygen was used up to create energy. Waste carbon dioxide (and other unwanted gases) is then let out of the body and the cycle continues. :)Gas exchangeGas% in inhaled air% in exhaled airOxygen2116Carbon dioxide0.044Nitrogen7979
Air exhaled after normal exhalation is?
Lower in oxygen content and higher in carbon dioxide content than regular air.
Is carbon dioxide a by-product of cellular respiration?
yes. NO. Glycolysis does not produce carbon dioxide. In aerobic respiration, carbon dioxide is produced in the citric acid (or Krebs cycle) which is a different step of the metabolic breakdown of glucose.
Which gas does the exhaled air contain?
Exhaled air will contain all of the gases in regular air, except that it will have higher percentages of carbon dioxide and lower percentages of oxygen. (It still will have oxygen, or CPR wouldn't work.) It will also have water vapor from our lungs. The main gas in inhaled and exhaled air is nitrogen. This is followed by oxygen, then carbon dioxide, then other gases. Yes, there is still more oxygen exhaled than carbon dioxide, but at a smaller percentage than was inhaled. Chances are that your teacher is looking for the gas, carbon dioxide, as your answer, since that is the product of cellular respiration that is disposed of in exhaled air, but it isn't the main component of exhaled air.
Does exhaled air contain more carbon dioxide or oxygen?
Carbon dioxide.
Is Hawk Oxygen or Carbon dioxide?
The hawk is bird not oxygen and the hawk inhaled oxygen and exhaled carbon dioxide.
How does the oxygen and carbon dioxide content of exhaled air differ from inhaled air?
Exhaled air has more carbon dioxide and less oxygen than does inhaled air.
What is the chemical name of breath exhaled?
The chemical name of exhaled breath is carbon dioxide or CO2. The chemical name of inhaled breath is oxygen, or O2.
Is exhaled breath compound?
Yes Carbon and oxygen Carbon dioxide
What is the chemical signature for exhaled breath?
The exhaled gas contain nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide.
What is the chemical name of a exhaled breath?
The exhaled gas contain nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide.
What is the chemical formula for a exhaled breath?
The exhaled gas contain nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide.
How oxygen and carbon dioxide are carried by the blood?
Mostly nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.
What gasses are taken in the body?
Oxygen is inhaled and Carbon Dioxide is exhaled.
Where does the oxygen go when it leaves the animal?
Oxygen is actually breathed in by animals. It is carbon dioxide which is exhaled by animals. Plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen.
