The average exchange of air per breath is 500 ml for men and 390 mL for women and the average breathing rate is about 12 times per minute. That's about 6 litres a minute, 0.360 m3/hr for men and 4 litres a minute, 0.240 m3/hr for women.

The average respiratory rate varies by by age:

  • Newborns: 44 breaths per minute
  • Infants: 20-40 breaths per minute
  • Preschool children: 20-30 breaths per minute
  • Older children: 16-25 breaths per minute
  • Adults: 12-20 breaths per minute
  • Adults during strenuous exercise 35-45 breaths per minute
  • Athletes' peak 60-70 breaths per minute

As a consequence the actual tidal respiration volume for any individual would have to be calculated.

Answer:

A person breathes about 100 litres (0.1 m3) of air every hour.

The volume of air an average adult breathes in a 1-hour period is approximately 10-15 cubic meters (m3). This estimate is based on a typical resting ventilation rate of 6-10 liters per minute. However, the actual volume can vary depending on factors such as activity level and overall health.

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

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.


Which gas in the air that you breathe has the highest percentage?

78.09% Nitrogen by Volume (approx)


What is the effect of emphysema on inspiratory reserve volume?

The volume of air which you normally breathe in and out is called the tidal volume. This is normally about 500 cm3 when you are at rest. However if you breathe in as much as you can you can breathe in more than 500 cm3. The extra volume of air breathed in (inspiration) is called the inspiratory reserve volume.Similarly when you breathe out as much as you can, the extra volume of air breathed out (expiration) is called the expiratory reserve volume. These three volumes added together give you your vital capacity: the maximum volume of air you can breathe in or out. When you have breathed out as much as you can there is still some air left in your lungs ie you cannot empty your lungs completely. This volume is called the residual volume.The vital capacity plus the residual volume equals your total lung capacity.

Why do whales need blowholes?

They need a blowhole to breathe with. They come up to the surface out of the water and "breathe in air" through the blow-hole. Then they can go back down into the water for a period of time until they need to re-surface for more air.


How do bettas breathe?

Betta fish breathe air....yes... that's right... they breathe air. They breathe air because they have an organ by their gills that is called the Labyrinth's Organ which allows them to breathe air. They breathe air by coming up to the surface of the water. Then they gather air in their mouths and hold their breath underwater.
