12 times breathe give 240 ml of pure O_{2}. Each breathe gives 20 ml of O_{2}.

Let us consider, volume of air per breathe= x ml.

Pure O_{2} from inhaled air= \frac{20}{100}x ml and Pure O_{2} from exhaled air= \frac{16}{100}x ml.

Pure O_{2} from inhaled and exhaled air= 20 ml

So, \frac{20}{100}x + \frac{16}{100}x = 20

Therefore, x = 55.5 ml

So, volume of air per breath= 55.5 ml.

enyata [817]
Well when a particle of air is becomes heated it rises, right? So you could write some like you started off close to the earth (aka the troposphere) until you became heated then you started to rise and as you reached higher elevations you cooled down and you were recycled into cool air and you moved back down and became new fresh cool air until the next time you'll become heated and rise again to be recycled into fresh cool new air.

The physical state, or phase, that has the greatest kinetic energy is gas. In a gas, the molecules are more free to move and they move more rapidly than in the other phases, and it is this motion that constitutes kinetic energy.

Which of the following is a heterogeneous mixture? Air. Salt water. Steel. Soil.
kicyunya [14]

Answer: Heterogenous mixtures are the ones in which we can see the different components clearly. Air is considered to be homogenous, because we don't see the different noble gases' particles floating around. Salt water is also homogenous, because salt dissolves almost completely into water, becoming hard to see without the proper equipment salt particles in it. Steel is also homogenous, since the metals that compose it are mixed during the heating. The only heterogenous would be soil, because we can see different particles in it, with different sizes, shapes, colors, etc without having to use special equipment.
