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.
When air is exhaled it is rich in what?
oxygen
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.
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.
How is inhaled air different from exhaled air?
Because the body has used the oxygen in the air to oxidize the nutrients you eat, this process combines the oxygen that you inhaled with carbon which makes up part of the nutrients you eat to form a poisonous gas "carbon-dioxide" which is then transported back to the lungs and exhaled along with moisture.
What is the concentration of oxygen in inhaled air?
Exhaled air contains 16% oxygen and 21% when inhaled.
Does inhale air has more oxygen or exhaled air?
Inhaled air is richer in oxygen than exhaled air.
How much oxygen does exhaled air contains approximately?
A small percent . exhaled air always contains oxygen .
What percentage of each gas is in the air?
When you inhale air the concentration is abut 21% of oxygen but in your lungs some of it gets consumed and replaced by carbon dioxide the concentration of exhaled oxygen depends on your metabolism and oxygen consumption.
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.
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.
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
Name a gas whose concentration is the same in inhaled air and exhaled air?
nitrogen
What are the differences between the surrounding air and exhaled air?
The air you breathe out is little changed from the air you breathe in, except that the oxygen content is somewhat lower - your body extracts some (not all) of the oxygen. The exhaled air is the same except for slightly lowered oxygen content.
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
When air is exhaled it is rich in what?
oxygen
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.
