During inhaling, you take in fresh air from the environment, which contains a higher concentration of oxygen. When you exhale, your body has used some of that oxygen for cellular respiration, converting it into carbon dioxide in the process. This is why exhaled air has a lower oxygen content than inhaled air.

Why HNO3 is stronger than HNO2?

HNO3 is stronger than HNO2 because it has one more oxygen atom, making it a stronger acid. The presence of more oxygen atoms leads to greater electronegativity and more stability in the resulting conjugate base after donating a proton, resulting in increased acidity.
