Natural gas does not contain carbon monoxide. It contains a large amount of methane. It may also contain other gases.
At one time it was frequently burned inside houses. It is now usually burned in furnaces since it may contain Radon, a radioactive gas. Radon can cause cancer.
Carbon monoxide is results in the process of making gas from coal. By using water while burning cole, the coal burns at a lower temperature producing coal gas and coke. This coke is not the stuff you drink but a form of carbon used to turn iron ore into iron. Coal gas is then burned to produce heat. The carbon monoxide turns into carbon dioxide. At one time it was used to heat homes. That was replaced by natural gas which does not contain poison.

What is the equation when natural gas produces carbon monxide and water?
natural gas + heat ---> carbon monoxide + water
Does natural gas have carbon monoxide?
Not exactly. Natural gas is mostly methane with small amounts of ethane and thiols. Incomplete combustion of this will yield some carbon monoxide.
What burns to form carbon monoxide?
Any carbon-contaning fuel can produce carbon monoxide when burned; gasoline, natural gas, diesel, wood, and paper are common ones.
Does carbon monoxide have a scent?
carbon monoxide is odourles,colourless and is a gas
Natural gas disadvantages?
There are several disadvantages of using natural gas. It can damage the environment because it releases carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Natural gas is a non-renewable source and it is toxic and flammable.
Does a natural gas leak set off carbon monoxide alarm?
It should not as natural gas is not carbon monoxide.
Is carbon monoxide the same as natural gas?
No. Natural gas is mainly methane (CH4). Carbon monoxide is CO.

Does natural gas have carbon monoxide?
Not exactly. Natural gas is mostly methane with small amounts of ethane and thiols. Incomplete combustion of this will yield some carbon monoxide.
What type of matter must carbon monoxide be?
In standard conditions, carbon monoxide is a gas.
What burns to form carbon monoxide?
Any carbon-contaning fuel can produce carbon monoxide when burned; gasoline, natural gas, diesel, wood, and paper are common ones.
Are carbon monoxide detectors required in all residential apartments?
Not carbon monoxide detectors required but gas detector (natural gas & LPG ) or combined gas detector including carbon monoxide are required in all residential apartments. It is to avoid gas leakage in kitchen or somewhere. Another answer: Check the local laws in your area. Carbon monoxide detectors are not usually required in residential apartments, nor are gas detectors.
Is carbon monoxide natural or human produced?
Carbon monoxide can be natural by also human produced.
Is Carbon monoxide a poisonous gas.?
Yes, carbon monoxide is a poisonous and very dangerous gas.
Does carbon monoxide have a scent?
carbon monoxide is odourles,colourless and is a gas
What are the forms of gases?
Oxygen, Helium, Natural Gas, Carbon Dioxide, Anaesthetics Gas, Carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, Neon, water vapor.
Natural gas disadvantages?
There are several disadvantages of using natural gas. It can damage the environment because it releases carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Natural gas is a non-renewable source and it is toxic and flammable.
