What are the problems with carbon monoxide produced by incomplete combustion?

Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas. It combines with hemoglobin in the red blood cells, and makes it incapable of doing its normal function of transporting oxygen. If enough hemoglobin is incapacitated in this way, a person can die of anoxia. Even if there is not enough carbon monoxide to cause death, it can still impair your normal metabolism by reducing your oxygen supply.

What gas is produced during the incomplete combustion?
the poisoness gas produced by incomplete combustion is carbon monoxide:)
What is produced in the incomplete combustion of alkalines?
carbon monoxide and water.
What two subtances may be produced during incomplete combustion?
Soot and Carbon Monoxide.
How is carbon monoxide produced during incomplete combustion?
Carbon Monoxide is produced during the incomplete combustion of propane. Incomplete combustion is defined as within the limits of flammability but higher or lower than the ideal ratio of 4 parts propane 96 parts air.
Which gas is produced during the incomplete combustion of coal?
carbon monoxide. CO is a product resulting as the definition of incomplete combustion. complete combustion yields carbon dioxide, CO2.
What gas would be formed if the amount of oxygen combined with fuel ere not enough to form carbon dioxide?
carbon monoxide and other incomplete burning gases
Is carbon dioxide produced from the burning of wood?
Complete combustion produces carbon dioxide. Incomplete combustion produces carbon monoxide.
Products of incomplete combustion?
Carbon, Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide and Water C + CO + CO2 + H2O
What is the name of the pollutant caused by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels?
Carbon monoxide is produced during incomplete combustion of any hydrocarbon or fossil fuel. Adding oxygenates (molecules containing oxygen) to the fuel and maintaining the proper air/fuel ratio can reduce the amount of carbon monoxide generated.
What 2 substances are formed when gasoline burns with oxygen during combustion?
During complete combustion, carbon dioxide and water are formed. If incomplete combustion occurs, carbon monoxide and water are produced.
Why is carbon monoxide produced in incomplete combustion?
carbon monoxide is produce when there is insufficient oxygen for the reaction to go to completion.for example C2H6+7/2O2--2CO2+3H2O.There is complete combustion but if it is C2H6+3O2---CO2+CO+3H2O
What gas is produced during combustion?
When Oxygen is deficient in the combustion of a hydrocarbon carbon monoxide (CO) will be produced and in severe cases even carbon(S) can be produced.
