There are approximately 2 × 10²² molecules and atoms in each breath we take and the concentration of CO in the air is approximately 9 parts per million.Approximately how many CO molecules are in each breath we take?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the number of CO molecules in each breath, multiply the total number of molecules in a breath (2 × 10^22) by the concentration of CO (9 parts per million, or 9/1,000,000). This gives (2 × 10^22) * (9/1,000,000) = 18 × 10^15 = 1.8 × 10^16.
