Inspired air is composed of approximately 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and small amounts of other gases such as carbon dioxide, argon, and trace gases. The exact composition can vary based on factors like altitude and pollution levels.

What percentage of oxygen is in inspired air?

About 21% of inspired air is oxygen.


How does air temperature change with atmospheric composition?

The composition of air depends upon altitude.


What is the composition of gases found in inhaled air?

gas composition in air is the sum of the gas individual element and that of the air i.e oxygen and nitrogen


Water content of expired air is less than inspired air?

Yes, the expired air has a lower water content compared to inspired air due to moisture being extracted from the air during gas exchange in the lungs. This process helps to humidify the inspired air and prevent the respiratory system from becoming too dry.


Why air is not a heterogeneous mixture?

Well, air contains 78.09% of Nitrogen, 20.95% of Oxygen, 0.03% of Carbon Dioxide and the rest of the gases like Argon, Helium, etc for about 1%. This composition of air is the same no matter where you go. If you're in Australia, the air will have this composition. If you're in South Africa, the air will have the same composition. The basic idea here is that the composition of air doesn't change which means air has a uniform composition. Homogeneous mixtures are those mixtures whose composition is same throughout the mixture and a heterogeneous mixtures are those mixtures whose composition is not same. Also, homogeneous mixtures are mixtures in which its components mix up thoroughly, i.e., the components cannot be observed whereas in a heterogeneous mixture, the individual components can be observed. In air, the Nitrogen or Oxygen cannot be observed separately. It is uniform and homogeneous. Thus, air is not a heterogeneous mixture.
