Best Answer

You can not test on that, because it is neither acid nor base. it is an 'neutral' gas, hardly soluble in water AND it does NOT react with water! as all acids and bases do.

It 'big brother' carbon DIoxide is an acidical (=acid forming) oxide in water.

How can you test for carbon monoxide in a car?

Doctors can now test for carbon monoxide levels in your body by; a breath test, a heart rate reader or even a blood test.


What can tell us whether something is an acid or alkali in 10 letters?

Test the pH.


What do indicators test for?

Indicators are used to test if something for example whether vinegar is an acid or alkali. Due to the pH scale, 1 - 3 is a strong acid, 4 - 6 is a weak acid, 7 is neutral, 8 - 10 is a weak alkali and 11 - 14 is a strong alkali. Vinegar should turn orange when added with an indicator, with the pH of about 3.


What use does carbon monoxide have?

Large quantities of aldehydes are produced by the hydroformylation reaction of alkenes, carbon monoxide, and H2. In the Fischer-Tropsch process carbon monoxide is hydrogenated to liquid hydrocarbon fuels. This technology allows coal or biomass to be converted to diesel. In the Monsanto process, carbon monoxide and methanol react in the presence of a homogeneous rhodium catalyst and HI to give acetic acid. This process is responsible for most of the industrial production of acetic acid. An industrial scale use for pure carbon monoxide is purifying nickel in the Mond process. In biology, carbon monoxide is naturally produced by the action of heme oxygenase 1 and 2 on the heme from hemoglobin breakdown. This process produces a certain amount of carboxyhemoglobin in normal persons, even if they do not breathe any carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide are burnt to provide heat for manufacturing processes, to heat homes and to separate metals like iron and nickel, from their ores and even to purify them. In the form of producer gas or water gas, it is widely used as a fuel in industrial operations. The gas is also an effective reducing agent. Carbon monoxide also reacts with certain metals, especially iron, cobalt, ruthenium and nickel, to form compounds known as metal-carbonyls. Some of the carbonyls have unusual physical and chemical properties that make them useful in industry and catalysis. The highly toxic nickel tetracarbonyl, for example, is used to produce very pure nickel coatings and powders.


Where can you purchase carbon monoxide test strips?

Why, do you want to kill yourself? Carbon monoxide is a very useful and important industrial chemical, and welding supply stores either have it or can get it. It's also a very flammable chemical, as well as being lethal, so you need a good reason to get it.

How can you tell if its an acid?

Add an alkali substance to it, such as chalk, if it is an acid it will "fizz" and release carbon dioxide. You could also test with Litmus Paper or Universal indicator.

Will a home carbon monoxide detect carbon monoxide inside a car?

Yes. Keep the windows shut, and also test with the heater on and off, as the heat exchanger be a source of CO from the exhaust fumes.

What to do once you are exposed to carbon monoxide?

Get to fresh air immediately. Do not re- enter a dwelling or structure until it has been ventilated thoroughly. Call the fire department non- emergency phone number and request they come and test the structure for carbon monoxide and find its source. You can also call a Heating and Air professional and ask them to come test the structure for you. Do not occupy the structure until the source of the carbon monoxide has been found and repaired. The sources of carbon monoxide can be gas ranges and stoves, water heaters and furnaces. Wood burning appliances as stoves and fireplaces can also produce carbon monoxide. Kerosene burning heaters also can produce carbon monoxide.
