A typical respiratory reaction by humans is the oxidation of glucose (C, H1O6) by the oxygen gas (O2) to form (CO2) and water (H,O). The minimum amount of oxygen human needs is 19.5% v/v from the air. If we inhale about 10 liters of air per minute, how much carbon dioxide is produced by the body if only 5.0% of the inhaled oxygen is used by the body? (Assuming density of oxygen at normal body temperature 1.284 q/L) molecular weight CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Question

A typical respiratory reaction by humans is the
oxidation of glucose (C, H1O6) by the oxygen
gas (O2) to form (CO2) and water (H,O).
The minimum amount of oxygen human needs
is 19.5% v/v from the air. If we inhale about 10
liters of air per minute, how much carbon
dioxide is produced by the body if only 5.0% of
the inhaled oxygen is used by the body?
(Assuming density of oxygen at normal body
temperature 1.284 q/L) molecular weight CO2 = 44.01 g/mol
