Why is carbon monoxide found?

When Carbon reacts with an insufficient supply of oxygen, bonds form and create CO (carbon monoxide)


What substances are formed when carbon and hydrogen and oxygen react?

carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water.


What is the process called when carbon monoxide reacts with oxygen to make carbon dioxide?

This is a reaction of oxidation.


How many atoms of carbon react with a molecule of oxygen to form a molecule of carbon monoxide?

there is one atom of oxygen in Carbon monoxide (CO) i.e. half molecule of oxygen.


Can carbon monoxide be used in fire extinguisher?

Not really. Carbon monoxide fumes are toxic and it is cheaper and easier to produce (and use) carbon dioxide instead. Additionally, carbon monoxide is flammable. It reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide.


In combustion is carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide formed always formed?

The combution process is two stage, carbon monoxide is formed first and if excess oxygen is present an the carbon monoxide reacts with additional oxygen to form carbon dioxide. 2C + O2 ---> 2CO + O2 ---> 2CO2


What will happen if oxygen reacts with non metal forming?

oxygen react with non metal like sulfur burns and forming SO2 and in the presence of excess of oxygen forms so3 Carbon combined with oxygen forms two compounds, carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Phosphorus reacts with oxygen in many different ratios, two of which are diphosphorous pentoxide (P2O5) and diphosphorus trioxide (P2O3). Nitrogen reacts with oxygen to form dinitrogen monoxide (N2O), and nitrogen monoxide (NO). Sulfur reacts with oxygen in many different ratios, which include sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfur trioxide (SO3).


A certain mass of carbon reacts with 13.6g of oxygen to form carbon monoxide what amount of grams of oxygen would react with that same mass of carbon to form carbon dioxide?

27.2 g


What is carbon monoxide cycle?

Carbon monoxide is first produced by either human activities involving combustion or a variety of natural processes. From there on, it reacts with oxygen/hydrogen radicals in the atmosphere and become carbon dioxide. The fact that most carbon monoxide will become carbon dioxide when left in the atmosphere long enough can help explain why the carbon monoxide cycle is not taught in school.


1 compound that reacts with oxygen?

For example methane gas; after burning carbon dioxide and water are released.


Does carbon monoxide react on any substance?

Carbon monoxide reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide is a reactive ligand forming interesting complexes with transition metals, e.g. Ni(CO)4 which is generated in the Mond process for prifying nickel. CO when inhaled competes with oxygen in binding to hemoglobin in blood, (hemoglobin is an iron(II) coordination compound.) This essentially starves the body of oxygen and is one of the reasons carbon monoxide is so toxic.


When coal burns is it a chemical reaction?

Burning coal is a chemical process in which coal reacts with oxygen and forming carbon doxide and or monoxide.
