Respiratory Quotient Calculator — science and physics formula calculators
The Respiratory Quotient Calculator divides the amount of carbon dioxide produced by the amount of oxygen consumed during respiration to give the respiratory quotient (RQ). It then suggests the dominant fuel source using the reference values: carbohydrate ≈ 1.0, protein ≈ 0.8, and fat ≈ 0.7. Use it
