Suppose someone is chatting with a single person for an hour. they are using no special file transfers or not surfing/downloading. how much data have transferred betweeen them (Mb/Kb)? Is there any way I can measure this?

Around 500KB/hour.
To measure it then close all applications that require you to connect to the internet.Then open the chat program.Double click on the small computer icons in your taskbar.Note down the bytes sent and recieved by you.Add them.Next start login and start chatting.After an hour close the application and open up the window by clicking on the icon in the taskbar.Again note down the byte send and recieved by the computer.Add them too.Now subtract the previous total that you got from this total.The result that you get is the total bytes used up in doing chating by you.
Now divide this by 1024 to get the no. of KB that were used.
I have explained it step by step for you.
Hope that helps!

Depends on which chat and also on how much each types.
The more you type the more the size.
Typically it is not more than a MB but not less than 200kb
You have to guess. Each ascii character sent over the internet takes 1 byte (spaces and punctuation too) add that to the extra information about who is chatting with who( about 10kb for every message i should say)
and you will get a rough estimate.
