Name a gas whose concentration is the same in inhaled air and exhaled air?

Nitrogen is a gas that is present in the same concentration in inhaled and exhaled air, as it is not chemically changed by the body during respiration.


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 other gas is lost from the body other than co2?

The other gas lost from the body is water vapor, which is exhaled through respiration. Water vapor is a natural byproduct of the body's metabolic processes and is released through the lungs as a component of exhaled air.


Which gas is removed from the body and exhaled out?

The type of gas that is removed from the body when a person exhales is called carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a compound that is composed of 2 oxygen atoms that each covalently double to a single carbon atom.


What is the type of gas inside a balloon blown by mouth?

The gas inside a balloon blown by mouth is primarily carbon dioxide, which is exhaled from the lungs during the blowing process. This gas is what inflates the balloon and gives it its buoyant properties.
