No they are different things altogether. Ammonia is the colourless pungent gas with chemical formula NH3, while carbon monoxide is the toxic, colourless, odourless gas with chemical formula CO.

The same as carbon monoxide from other sources at the same DOSE.


Is the gas argon the same as carbon monoxide?

No, argon is an element, carbon monoxide is a compound.


Is carbon and carbon monoxide the same?

No - carbon is an element, while carbon monoxide is an oxygen atom attached to carbon, turning it into a gas which is quite toxic.


Is carbon monoxide homogeneous or heterogeous?

Pure carbon monoxide, like any other pure compound, is homogeneous.


What is the chemical formula for oxygen hydrogen?

the way you ask the question it would be HO, but it can't happen that way, HO is really H2O2 or hydrogen peroxide. this is my answer. However, the more common compound is water, or H2O. the above is not part of my answer and is wrong. HO and H2O are diffrerent things. HO does not really occur naturally, it occurs as H2O2 or hydrogen peroxide and while it is similar to water, it is NOT water, ingest enough and you will DIE. Hydrogen peroxide, H2O2 and water H2O are DIFFERENT. what you say is like saying carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are the same thing, or aqueous ammonia and anhydrous ammonia are the dame thing. Hydrogen peroxide (H202) and dihydrogen monoxide (h20) are NOT the same thing.


Is carbon monoxide the same as natural gas?

No, carbon monoxide and natural gas are different substances. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas formed when there is incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels, while natural gas is a fossil fuel primarily composed of methane that is used as a source of energy.


Are urease and urea the same thing?

No, urease and urea are not the same thing. Urease is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide, while urea is a waste product produced in the liver as a result of protein metabolism.


If carbon monoxide is heavier than oxygen then why install carbon monoxide detectors on ceilings?

While carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air, it diffuses evenly in a space and can reach lethal concentrations throughout a room, including at ceiling height. Installing detectors on ceilings ensures that they can effectively sense any buildup of carbon monoxide in the environment.


What carbon monoxide is used for?

It is in cigarettes and is the same gas that comes out of car exhausts!


Is pneumonia and ammonia the same thing?

No. Though they have similar lettering, pneumonia is a sickness, and ammonia is a cleaner.


Does carbon monoxide compete with oxygen for the same binding site?

Yes. Carbon monoxide combines with haemoglobin to form carboxyhaemoglobin. This prevents the normal combination of oxygen with haemoglobin, thus depriving cells all round the body of the oxygen they need.


Is carbon 14 known as carbon monoxide?

No, carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon. Istopes are different atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons. Carbon monoxide is a compound with one carbon and one oxygen atom per molecule. It is a toxic, colourless and odourless gas produced by the incomplete combustion of vehicle engines.
