The oxidation number is + for C and -2 for O.
2 co + o2 = 2 co2.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is found in the exhaust of gasoline engines.
No. Even when CO dissolves in rain, it does not form any acid.
CO is not an element, it is a compound known as carbon monoxide. It is toxic, colorless, odorless gas. There is also Co, which is the element Cobalt, a metal.
Examples: carbon oxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur and nitrogen oxides, ozone, emissions from other industrial plants, flying ash, heavy metals, dust, and many others depending on the location and season.

Carbon, Sulfur, CO, FeCl2, MnO2..
The oxidation number for Co in CoS is +2, a divalent cobalt cation, since the only anion formed from a single sulfur atom has a charge of -2.
Good question. Sulfur dioxide means there is 1 sulfur atom and 2 oxygen atoms, and is not giving any information about the valence or oxidation state. Think of this.... Carbon monoxide = CO and Carbon dioxide = CO2
nitrogen being more electronegative than carbon, the contribution of co-ordinate bond is neglected and carbon provides two electrons to nitrogen. so oxidation number of carbon in iso cyanide is +2
+4 oxygen has an oxidation of -2, so do 3 times -2=-6, i believe Ca is a +2 and you must get the numbers to equal 0. so the answer is a +4
+2
Cl has an oxidation number of -1 because it is in the group 7a. -1*6 = -6 K has an oxidation number of +1 and there are three of them. -6+3+x = 0 The oxidation number of Co is +3.
2 co + o2 = 2 co2.
+2 for Co, -2 for S
+4
