CO is lighter than air
At 25 degrees Celsius and 1 atm of pressure, carbon monoxide's density is 1.145kg/m3, and the density of air is 1.1839kg/m3. So carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air.

Is it bad if carbon monoxide is lighter than air?
No
Which is heavier carbon monoxide or oxygen?
Oxygen. Because , mass of carbon monoxide is 28, whereas that of oxygen is 32.
Where to place carbon dioxide detecter high or low?
Carbon MONOXIDE is lighter than air, and will rise. Place the detector high. Carbon DIOXIDE is heavier than air, and will sink. Place detector low.
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 are the disadvantages of carbon monoxide?
Frequently created by the incomplete burning of fuel, it consists of carbon and oygen. It is flammable, and lighter than air. It combines with red blood cells better than oxygen- making it difficult to get it out of your body once it is breathed in.Carbon monoxide (CO) is (3 main facts):an odorless,very toxicgas
What do cars produce?
Cars produce Carbon Monoxide which is lighter than air it can be toxic to humans and animals when encountered in higher concentrations.
Is carbon monoxide heavier than air?
Molar mass of CO (carbon monoxide) is 12+16 = 28 ,the mean molar mass of air (20% O2, 80% N2) = 0.20*32 + 0.80*28 = 28.8 thus air is a bit heavier than CO
What are lighter than air gases?
All of these 14 gases and no others are lighter than air at the same temperature and pressure. Neon Hydrogen fluoride Water (steam) Carbon monoxide Ammonia Nitrogen Hydrogen cyanide Methane Ethylene Acetylene Methllithium Diborane Helium Hydrogen
Why is carbon monoxide more likely to be formed in engines than if the fuel were burnt in the open air?
Carbon monoxide forms when the oxygen supply is limited, which is more likely to happen inside the cylinder of an engine than in the open air.
Is carbon monoxide part of air?
no its not
Compounds found in the air?
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide
Greenhouse gases are obviously lighter than air How then are they measured by weight How does one weigh something that is lighter than air?
Greenhouse gasses are NOT "obviously lighter than air"; carbon dioxide is significantly heavier than air.One way to weigh something that's lighter than air is to weigh it in a vacuum.
