Live Step-by-Step Calculation
# Given Values:
Time Period: 24 hrs
# Formula:
CO2 Expelled = time * 40
CO2 Expelled = time * 40
# Substitution:
CO2 Expelled = 24 * 40
CO2 Expelled = 24 * 40
Final Answer: 960 g
How it Works
An average human exhales about 1kg of CO2 per day. While this is part of the biogenic carbon cycle (we eat plants that took that CO2 from the air), it is an interesting physiological metric.
