During the combustion process when the fuel is burned. carbon atoms from the fuel bonds with oxygen atoms. The hotter the combustion the more that is produced, the down side is a hotter combustion is how you get more power for a certain displacement. The catalytic converter is made up of certain metals that helps convert the carbon monoxide it to carbon dioxide.

How does a catalytic converter remove carbon monoxide from car engines?
It doesn't remove it. It uses Oxidation to add oxygen to the Carbon Monoxide to turn it into Carbon Dioxide, which isn't as harmful.
Where is corbon dioxide produced?
Carbon monoxide is produced in the engine and is one of the three exhaust gasses that result from combustion however if your car has a functioning catalytic converter the carbon monoxide should be transformed into carbon dioxide.
How is carbon monoxide is made in a car?
Its one of the by-products of burning the fuel. Its produced in the combustion chamber.
Why is carbon monoxide emitted by a car exhaust?
Carbon dioxide is one element given off after burning of fuels(hydr-carbons) in an oxygen atmosphere. The buring inside the piston of a car's engine does not completely burn all the carbon so carbon monoxide is produced in addition to carbon dioxide.
How does a catalytic converter removes carbon monoxide from car fumes?
It does not remove carbon monoxide.
How is carbon monoxide made in car?
Carbon Monoxide is a by-product of combustion of petroleum (Gasoline) When gasoline burns (Because of the ignition that happens within the engine) it products carbon monoxide (Chemical Formula "CO"). The greater the engine capacity and power/speed, the greater is the amount of gasoline that gets burnt and greater is the amount of carbon monoxide produced
What can car smoke cause does it affect health?
Carbon monoxide produced from the engine can cause health problems like death.
How do you pronounce carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide is pronounced Car-Bon Mon-Ox-Ide
What is carbon monoxide and how is it harmful to drivers?
it harms the blood stream and takes away blood from the bodies cells.ANS2:Carbon monoxide is odorless, tasteless and colorless. It is produced from the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. A driver in a car with a faulty exhaust system is likely to be exposed to carbon monoxide. It will cause unconsciousness and death.
Can a car battery cause carbon monoxide?
No
What gases are in car exhaust fumes?
Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide are contained in car exhaust fumes. Carbon Monoxide is a toxic gas that if too much is breathed in, you die.
What emissions control device on a car lowers carbon monoxide content?
Answering "What emissions control device on a car lowers carbon monoxide content?"
