How does nitrogen-14 and nitrogen-15 are isotopes of the same element?

They have the same number of protons in the atomic nucleus.


What does the air you inhale and exhale contains?

The air you exhale normally contains 19% less oxygen than inhaled air, with a 4% to 5% level of carbon dioxide and other gases, along with added water vapor. (Which is why you can rebreathe it to control "hiccups".) Your body will continue to remove the remaining oxygen and add more carbon dioxide until the exhaled air is almost all nitrogen and CO2. So if you had only this air to breathe, your body would not be able to keep functioning and you could pass out and eventually die. This is the same situation as when one or more persons are trapped in a closed space with a limited amount of air. The considerable oxygen content (17%) in exhaled air allows mouth-to-mouth resuscitation in CPR.


What element has the same valence electron configuration as phosphorus?

The answer is nitrogen. Nitrogen is one example of an element that has the same valence electron configuration as phosphorus.Ê


Do animals breathe like humans?

Yes, animals breathe like humans in the sense that they inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. However, the respiratory systems of different animal species may vary in terms of specific structures and processes involved in breathing.


Is nitrogen change states a chemical or physical change?

Changing states of nitrogen, such as from a gas to a liquid, is a physical change because the chemical composition of nitrogen remains the same. It only involves a change in the arrangement of nitrogen molecules.

Why is the percentage of nitrogen the same as when you inhale air and exhale air?

The percentage of nitrogen in the air remains constant when you inhale and exhale because the body does not use nitrogen during respiration. While we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, the nitrogen in the air is not chemically altered or metabolized by the body's processes.


When you inhale and exhale argon stay the same?

Yes, when you inhale and exhale argon, the amount of argon in your body remains the same. Argon is an inert gas that does not react with other elements in the body, so it is not absorbed or released during breathing.


Why does the concentrations of nitrogen stay the same when you exhale?

Because no nitrogen is absorbed. N is not needed in respiration.


Does the air we breathe out contains more or less nitrogen?

The air we breathe out contains less nitrogen than the air we breathe in. When we inhale, we take in oxygen and other gases, including nitrogen. When we exhale, we breathe out carbon dioxide, which has replaced some of the nitrogen we inhaled.


How much nitrogen do you inhale?

In air there is 20.98% Oxygen, so that's what we inhale. We exhale 16% of this Oxygen; hence why cardiopulmonary resuscitation is possible.


What uses does the Respiratory System have?

The most common use of the respiratory system is the exchange of gases. When you exhale carbon dioxide, at the same time you inhale oxygen.


Why doesn't the total amount of nitrogen change?

Nitrogen makes up 78% of air, so we obviously breathe it in and because our body doesnt 'NEED' Nitrogen, so however much you inhale, you can exhale the same amount as none of the Nitrogen is used up. hope it helped ;p x


Do mice inhale and exhale the same ratio of O to CO2 as a human and if not what's a good small animal that can compare?

Yes. they do but rats are often the ones used the most.


Explain why levels of nitrogen are why levels of nitrogen are the same in air breathed in as air breathed out?

When we breathe in, we inhale air that contains nitrogen. This nitrogen enters our bloodstream but is not utilized by the body. When we breathe out, the nitrogen is simply released back into the air because our bodies do not extract or alter nitrogen during the breathing process. Therefore, the levels of nitrogen in air breathed in and breathed out remain the same.


Can cats inhale and exhale at the same time?

The normal kind that all animals breathe; a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, argon carbon dioxide and trace amounts of other gases. The air they breath is the same air that you breath; the atmosphere of the planet Earth.


Can you inhale and exhale at the same time?

Speech is normally produced by the intermittent release of expired air and the opening and closing of the glottis (the gap between the vocal cords). However, speech can also be produced by the intermittent retention of air inspired through the mouth. This special technique has been used in Kryia Yoga.


What do animals inhale?

THE SAME AS WE DO
