Blue u tart!
Clever answer NOT - how come the toxicology handbooks state victims of carbon monoxide poisoning are a distinctive 'cherry red' or 'pink'?

What substance used to detect the presence of carbon dioxide?
Test for Carbon Dioxide: Bubble unknown gas in lime water. Limewater should go milky if Carbon dioxide is present. Test for water: Add anhydrous copper sulphate crystals (white in colour) to unknown solution. If solution goes a brilliant light blue colour, water is present as the hydrous copper sulphate crystals were formed. Did this help?
What color does sugar produce you n a flame test?
Flame of itself is yellow/white. This is white hot carbon particles. Carbon, per se, does not form ions and so cannot give a flame test colour.
What are related colors?
Related colour's are when the secondary colour and another secondary colour have the same primary colour.
Is color a proper noun or common noun?
"Colour" can be a noun if it refers to a colour like red or green. It is a common noun. "Colour" can also be a verb if it refers to the act of applying colour to something.
Is purple a warm color cool color or neutral color?
As a secondary colour made from the mixture of Red (a warm colour) and Blue (a cool colour) the "temperature" of the purple will depend on how much of which colour is in it.
How does CO affect respiration?
CO or carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas which has adverse effects on the body. It doesn't affect the respiration mechanism of the body particularly but is life threatening. The pigment present in blood, haemoglobin which imparts colour to the blood and is a carrier of oxygen, has more affinity for carbon monoxide than oxygen. Hence, it becomes a carrier of carbon monoxide if the amount of this gas respired is not controlled. CO affects the brain, central nervous system, causes dizziness and even death. Inhalation of CO can be controlled by controlling pollution and incomplete fuel combustion which is a major cause for the emission of the toxic carbon and its compounds.
What is the function on haemoglobin?
It helps in transport of O2 and CO2 It gives the red colour to the blood Haemoglobin will combine also with carbon monoxide to form carboxyhaemoglobin, which has the effect of reducing the amount of oxygen that can be carried in the blood.
Where is food poisoning more likely to be found?
Food that is the wrong colour
How do you know that the ash is free from carbon?
we can assess the presence or absence of carbon in ash from the colour of the ash:- If ash is greyish to blackish in colour then carbon is present in the ash. If ash is bluish grey to brown in colour then the ash is free of carbon.
Why carbon monoxide is harmful?
When a carbon atom and an oxygen atom combine to form carbon monoxide, it is a relatively unstable molecule. The oxygen atom can still bond with something else, and when breathed enters the blood and attaches to red blood cells. Once it does that, it becomes stable, but unfortunately that stable state is unusable by the body - it has displaced a needed regular oxygen atom, and prevented the body from getting some of its oxygen. Losing a little oxygen from your blood is okay - the body has a lot of reserve capacity built in - but if you breathe in a lot of carbon monoxide, then too many red blood cells become attached to the carbon monoxide and not enough are free to carry the necessary oxygen. Depending on how much carbon monoxide is breathed in, the person will slowly or quickly suffocate from a lack of oxygen in the blood.Or, put another way,The red colour in red blood cells comes from haemoglobin. This molecule combines with oxygen to form oxy-haemoglobin. As the blood circulates round the body, any cell needing an atom of oxygen takes it from a red blood cell and plain haemoglobin reappears. When carbon monoxide gets into the lungs it attaches itself to a red cell, forming carboxy-haemoglobin. Carboxy-haemoglobin cannot carry oxygen. Cells cannot remove the carbon monoxide from the red cells, so the haemoglobin is permanently put out of action. If too much carbon monoxide is inhaled, enough individual body cells die from oxygen starvation to cause the death of the whole body.
What is the colour of carbon?
black
What colour is carbon atom?
Blue
Does CO2 have a color?
Carbon dioxide has not colour.
What colour is carbon dioxide at room temperature?
You can't see Carbon Dioxide at room temperature.
Why is carbon monoxide is so toxic?
It cannot be detected (it is a odourless, colourless and tastless gas). However, CO binds with haemoglobin (in red blood cells) much more easily than O2 and it is irreversible. Thus, when a person breathes in too much CO, there won't be enough haemoglobin to carry O2, and that can kill him/her in the space of 25 minutes if not treated immeadietly.
