Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The volume of air in liters that might inhale in a typical day, air that is exhaled in a normal breath, breath per minute and air exhaled per day has to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Volume is the amount of space occupied by the matter.
The unit of volume is expressed in milliliters

Students have asked these similar questions
Two identical balloons are filled to the same volume, one with air and one with helium. The next day, the volume of the air-filled balloon has decreased by 4.5 %.
By what percent has the volume of the helium-filled balloon decreased? (Assume that the air is four-fifths nitrogen and one-fifth oxygen, and that the temperature did not change.)
Express your answer using two significant figures.
The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been
increasing over the past century as a result of the combustion of
fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas). Carbon dioxide is a green-
house gas that plays a significant role in climate. The increase in
carbon dioxide is correlated with changes in climate that have
climate scientists concerned. The graph shown here illustrates
the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide from 1860 to the
present. Study the graph and answer the questions that follow.
