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.
What oxide is produced when carbon is burnt in air?
co2
How does carbon get back into the air from the food you eat?
when your food is converted into energy carbon dioxide is added to the blood stream and from there is exhaled out. i.e. when you breathe, oxygen in- carbon out
How is the air you inhale or breathe in different then when you exhale or breathe out?
Inhaled air contains room air which contains oxygen. Exhaled air has carbon dioxide and, maybe, bad breath.
Does inhale air has more oxygen or exhaled air?
Inhaled air is richer in oxygen than exhaled air.
What percentage of your blood works to carry oxygen throughout your body?
You have about 20% oxygen in inhaled air and negligible carbon bi oxide. You have about 4% carbon bi oxide in the exhaled air. That means 4% of the oxygen is absorbed from the blood. That makes it 4%/20%= 20% of the oxygen from the inhaled air is absorbed in your blood.
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 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.
Is carbon dioxide richer in exhaled or atmospheric air?
yes it is the inhaled air is 0.04 %, whereas, of the exhaled air is 4 % (100 times) more
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 does exhaled air contain?
Carbon dioxidenitrogenoxygen
What is air that is exhaled rich in?
Carbon dioxide
What are the changes would you expect if you compared inhaled air with exhaled air?
You expect the oxygen from exhaled air to be replaced by carbon bi oxide. There is physical limitation to this because of the physiological dead space. Fishes do not have it. You expect the air to get saturated with water completely, subjected again to physiological dead space.
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.
What makes us most of the exhaled air in vertebrates?
Carbon dioxide makes up most of the exhaled air in
Which air is heavier out of inhaled air and exhaled air?
Exhaled air, which has a slightly higher amount of carbon dioxide, is heavier than inhaled air.
