(N/A) Tidal volume is the volume of air inspired or expired during normal respiration.
It is approximately $500 \,mL$ per breath,which corresponds to about $6000$ to $8000 \,mL$ of air per minute.
The hourly tidal volume for a healthy human can be calculated as:
Tidal volume per minute $= 6000$ to $8000 \,mL/min$
Tidal volume in an hour $= (6000 \text{ to } 8000 \,mL/min) \times (60 \,min/hour)$
$= 360,000$ to $480,000 \,mL/hour$
$= 3.6 \times 10^{5} \,mL$ to $4.8 \times 10^{5} \,mL/hour$
Therefore,the hourly tidal volume for a healthy human is approximately $3.6 \times 10^{5} \,mL$ to $4.8 \times 10^{5} \,mL$.
