Why is the percentage of nitrogen inhale and exhale the same?

The percentage of nitrogen remains the same as the amount of oxygen that was used was replaced by the water vapour and carbon dioxide

Yes it does.


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


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.

Does breathing produce energy?

No, energy is not produced from breathing. Im not quite sure what is because I need the same info for a project! I want to say it is carbon dioxide because in breathing you inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.


How is carbon dioxide and oxygen different?

Carbon Dioxide: Is a compound, which is made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. Its atomic mass is 44 amu. Plants inhale carbon dioxide during the day and exhale it during night time. All animals exhale it at all times. Oxygen: Is an element, which exists as gas of diatomic molecules (a molecule made up of two atoms of the same element.). It's atom's mass is 16 amu, and mass of the diatomic molecule is 32 amu. Plants exhale it during the day and inhale it during night. All animals inhale it at all times. For other technical differences, you should check other websites :)
