The composition of air expired is approximately 16% oxygen (O2) and 4% carbon dioxide (CO2), with the remaining 80% being nitrogen (N2) and trace gases.

Percentage of nitrogen in the expired air?

The percentage of expired air is around 74-80% Nitrogen. Because of gas exchange in the lung, expired air is also rich in CO2 and lower in O2 than atmospheric air (which has a 21.8% O2 comp and a .03 - .04% CO2 comp). Thus, the O2 and CO2 values narrow in difference to 14.5-16% and 4-5.5%, respectively.


If Nitrogen is 78 percent of air then how many percent of o2 in the air?

21%


How does expired air differ from inspired air?

Both Inspired and expired air have higher amounts of oxygen than Carbon Dioxide. Inspired air has higher amounts of oxygen than expired, while expired air has higher amounts of Carbon Dioxide than inspired air.


What is the second most common gas found in the air we breath?

Oxygen is the second most common/abundant gas in the air that we breathe. Nitrogen is the most abundant gas in the air we breathe. The composition of air is often treated as 79 mole or volume percent N2 and 21 mole or volume percent O2.

What is composition of medical oxygen the patient receives in hospitals?

Medical oxygen is supplied at 99.5% pure O2. Do not confuse this with medical air, which is just pressurized air.


What are the compositions of inhaled and exhaled air?

The composition of expired air in humans is usually: 17 % oxygen, 3. 5 % carbon dioxide, 79 % nitrogen, and temperature range of between 29 and 34 degrees Celsius, Moisture is usually a component of the expired air as well.


What is acetone's percent composition by mass?

%C= 62.0% %H2= 10.4% %O2= 27.5% To find these, you divide the molar mass of the specific element in the compound divided by the molar mass of the entire compound.


Why is it chemical when water is separated into o2 and h2?

It is a chemical change (reaction) because the chemical composition of the products (O2 and H2) is different from the chemical composition of the water (H2O).


What are two most common gases in dry air and what percentage of earth's atmosphere composition does each gas make up?

The two most common gases in dry air are nitrogen (N2) at approximately 78% and oxygen (O2) at around 21% of Earth's atmosphere composition.


What is the partial pressure of 20.84 percent of O2 in air?

The partial pressure of a gas in a mixture is equal to the total pressure of the mixture multiplied by the mole fraction of that gas. Since the mole fraction of O2 in air is 0.2084 and the total pressure of air is approximately 1 atmosphere, the partial pressure of O2 in air is approximately 0.2084 atmosphere.


An oxygen enriched atmosphere has an oxygen concentration greater than?

The composition of normal atmospheric air is N2 - 78%, O2 - 21% and other miscellaneous gasses make up the balance. SO,Any O2 concentration greater than 22-23% would be O2 considered enriched.
