Will carbon monoxide in a car cabin cause eyes to burn?
No. That's what makes carbon dioxide so dangerous: you can't see, smell, or feel it.
Why does carbon monoxide burn and carbon dioxide does not?
Carbon monoxide binds very tightly to heme; carbon dioxide does not. Carbon dioxide is not poisonous per se, but it's not harmless either; concentrations of carbon dioxide above 20% or so are pretty bad for you even if there's also plenty of oxygen to breathe.
Why is it dangerous to burn carbon-based fuel in a closed space?
With adequate oxygen, carbon dioxide will be formed, but in a closed space as the oxygen is depleted carbon monoxide will form which is highly poisonous
What products are made when hydrocarbons burn?
The burning of hydrocarbons causes the formation of water vapor (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Often, other byproducts such as formaldehyde (HCOH) and carbon monoxide (CO) are formed due to non-stoechiometric conditions.
Signs of carbon monixide?
None obvious to human observation (CO is colorless, odorless and tasteless), unless you mean signs of carbon monoxide poisoning, in which case: dizzyness, headache, blurred vision, unconsciousness, and death. Never burn anything indoors (aside from appliances specifically designed to be used without venting) and get a carbon monoxide detector if you suspect that your furnace or other heat source may be improperly vented.
What plastic can give off carbon monoxide when burned?
All plastics give of carbon monoxide when burned, the amount of carbon monoxide depends on what type of plastic is being burned, so don't burn plastic cause too much carbon monoxide is bad for all life on earth and the ozone! :)

with CO2
Which of these is an odorless colorless gas that forms when the carbon in fuels does not burn completely?

What compound is formed when carbon burn in air?
Carbon Dioxide and a very tiny bit of Carbon Monoxide
What odorless colorless gas that forms when the carbon in fuels does not burn completely?
CO (carbon monoxide).
What is the poisonous gas produced when fuels don't burn completely?

Which of these is an oderless colorless gas that forms when fuels do not burn completely?
