If carbon monoxide is heavier than oxygen then why install carbon monoxide detectors on ceilings?
Carbon monoxide is actually close to the same density of air. It is carbon dioxide that is denser than air.
What happens when oxygen reacts with carbon monoxide?
When carbon monoxide reacts with oxygen carbon dioxide is formed
Can carbon monoxide reduced to oxygen?
Carbon monoxide is a reducing agent.
Do all fires produce carbon monoxide?
It depends on how much oxygen there is in the area of where is the fire, If the fire has enough or too much oxygen, there is no carbon monoxide, if there is any lack of oxygen, carbon monoxide is produced.
Is carbon monoxide an example of an alkane?
No. An alkane is a compound of carbon and hydrogen. Carbon monoxide consists of carbon and oxygen.

Is monoxide a metal?
NO!!! The word 'monoxide' indicates that a substance, NOT an element, has one(1) oxygen in its formula. e.g. Carbon monoxide (CO) or Nitrogen monoxide (NO)
What happens when oxygen reacts with carbon monoxide?
When carbon monoxide reacts with oxygen carbon dioxide is formed
Where do lungs exchange oxygen and carbon monoxide?
The lungs do not exchange oxygen and carbon monoxide. They exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. They do that in the aveoli.
What element is found in Carbon monoxide?
1 x carbon and 1 x oxygen molecule carbon and monoxide monoxide is one oxygen molecule
Can carbon monoxide reduced to oxygen?
Carbon monoxide is a reducing agent.
Is carbon monoxcide heavier than oxygen?
Oxygen as a gas is heavier than carbonmonoxide This is because carbon monoxide consists of one oxygen atom and one carbon atom. This says that if the mass of oxygen is x and the mass of carbon is x-z (its not as heavy as oxygen) then a carbon monoxide molecule is 2x-z. Also we must keep in mind that z is smaller than x. On the other hand an oxygen molecule is 2x. It is obvious that 2x is larger than 2x-z unless z is 0 or smaller. However z cant be 0 or smaller because then carbon as an atom would be heavier than oxygen which it isn't. However Carbon Monoxide is heavier than oxygen as an atom. Again we can say CO is 2x-z and since z is less than x, 2x-z>x. Also x is an oxygen atoms mass. So CO>O but CO<O2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What are the elements carbon monoxide?
carbon, oxygen
What are the elements in carbon monoxide?
Carbon and oxygen
How does carbon monoxide affect oxygen?
Carbon monoxide reduces the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin at any given PaO2.
Do all fires produce carbon monoxide?
It depends on how much oxygen there is in the area of where is the fire, If the fire has enough or too much oxygen, there is no carbon monoxide, if there is any lack of oxygen, carbon monoxide is produced.
What form of pollution has one oxygen atom but is still poisonous but you cant see it or smell it?
Carbon Monoxide carbon monoxide carbon monoxide I believe
