You breathe air for the oxygen and hydrogen, when you inhale chemical changes begin and you take in the oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide which things like plants then use to make more oxygen. You are not exhaling the same compound.

∙ 14y agono,exhaled air has more C02, and less oxygen, it is also saturated with water vapour, which is lost accidentally

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.
Does inhale air has more oxygen or exhaled air?
Inhaled air is richer in oxygen than exhaled air.
Which contains more oxygen inhaled air or exhaled air?
Inhaled air contains more oxygen than exhaled air because the cells have not yet used that oxyginated air.
What are the 3 main difference between the exhaled and inhaled air?
Exhaled air has less oxygen than inhaled air.Exhaled air has more carbon dioxide than inhaled air.Exhaled air is warmer that inhaled air.Maybe the first 2 are redundant, but I think that should work!
What is the concentration of oxygen in inhaled air?
Exhaled air contains 16% oxygen and 21% when inhaled.
Is there a way of showing that exhaled air has more oxygen in it than inhaled air?
Exhaled air should have less oxygen since it is carrying the CO2 from your lungs in the first place. A way of showing... there may be
Why does inhaled air contains less carbon dioxide than exhaled air?
When we inhaled, we use the oxygen in the air to send to the organs in our body, in order to stay alive. When all the oxygen stored in a red blood cell is used up, our bodies convert it to carbon dioxide, and this is part of the air which we exhaled.
What is the differences between inhaled air and exhaled air?
Inhaled air contains a greater volume of oxygen than carbon dioxide. Exhaled air is the opposite, since after the exchange of gases in the lungs the carbon dioxide in the blood is transferred into the lungs. Exhaled air contains a greater volume of carbon dioxide than oxygen. Also, there is more water vapour in exhaled air than inhaled air.
Whats are the differences between inhaled and exhaled air?
Exhaled air contains CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and Inhaled air contains O2(Oxygen).
Does inhaled air have less water vapor than exhaled air?
Yes
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
What gas shows the greatest difference in percentage between inhaled and exhaled air?
Oxygen is the gas that demonstrates the largest difference in percent between air that is inhaled, and air that is exhaled. The symbol for oxygen is O.
