Why there is difference in the amount of carbon dioxide you inhale and exhale?

The amount of carbon dioxide exhaled is always greater than the amount inhaled because part of the oxygen inhaled is converted into carbon dioxide by metabolic processes of digestion, while any carbon dioxide inhaled remains unchanged in the body and is always exhaled again.


What gas shows the greatest difference in percent between inhaled and exhaled air?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) typically shows the greatest difference in percent between inhaled and exhaled air. When we inhale, the air we breathe in contains around 0.04% CO2, while the air we exhale can contain around 4-5% CO2 due to the waste gas produced by our body's cellular respiration process.
