Detailed explanation-1: -The amount of inhaled air contains 21% of oxygen and 0.04% of carbon dioxide, while the air we breathe out contains 16.4% of oxygen and 4.4% of carbon dioxide. This is because our cells use oxygen from the inhaled air to release energy and give out carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
Detailed explanation-2: -In turn, exhaled air contains: nitrogen – 78% oxygen – 17% carbon dioxide – 4%
Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: the percentage of carbon dioxide present in exhaled air is 4.4%.
Detailed explanation-4: -Complete answer: Exhaled air mainly consists of more amount of carbon dioxide and less oxygen as carbon dioxide is considered as a waste product in the body and thus, the body eliminates it during the process of respiration.
Detailed explanation-5: -The exhaled air contains more carbon dioxide because the carbon dioxide produced during respiration is removed out of the body as the exhaled air during the process of respiration.
