Carbon Monoxide is a gas formed from carbon and oxygen. It has the formula CO. Carbon dioxide another gas formed from carbon and oxygen, has the formula CO 2.
A gas, the molecules of which are made up of one carbon atom bonded with one oxygen atom. Carbon monoxide gas is clear, odorless and lethal when inhaled in LOW concentration.
It is a clear, odorless, gas, the molecules of which are composed of one carbon atom double bonded to one oxygen atom.
If you inhale it,it bonds with the hemoglobin in your blood preventing it from being available to bond with oxygen. Therefore you asphyxiate and die.
This is why it is recommended to have gas appliances service annually by a certified, qualified person and to have a carbon monoxide alarm fitted.

Carbon monoxide, CO, is a poisonous gas that can form wherever carbon-based fuels burn, especially when oxygen is in short supply.

∙ 12y agoCarbon monoxide is a toxic, colorless, odorless gas that forms from the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing compounds. It is a common hazard in homes and buildings with fossil-fuel heating systems.

∙ 12y agothe invisable gas that comes out of your car which is piosonous if you breath to much of that gas, you might die or not die but most times you could die breathing just carbon monoxide. that gas is pumped back into the car if something is blocking the exaust pipe it might stay in the car unless there is no widow open in the car.
Actually, CO can be found from your fireplace, furnace, car exhaust, water heater, range hood, ect... and your cars exhaust pipe, when blocked will stall the engine, so no CO or any gasses will be emitted since your car won't be running. A great way to kill yourself is to trap yourself in a garage with your car runnning. Make sure you have no oil leaks in your engine and your CAT is in working order. Otherwise, prepare for a smelly and smokey death, you'll probably run out of the garage just to get away from the stink. Ok.

∙ 15y agocarbon monoxide is in gases and it is also a toxic gas which means it is very dangerous for people.we have to be careful around factories because some factories produce smoke that has carbon monoxide.

Does charcoal contain carbon monoxide?
It does not contain carbon monoxide, but it will likely produce carbon monoxide when burned.
How do you control the level of carbon monoxide in your apartment?
Make frequent ventilation, use appropriate heating systems, mount a carbon monoxide detector.
Is carbon monoxide c02?
no that is carbon dioxide,carbon monoxide is CO
What is the chemical formula for the Carbon monoxide (covalent)?
The chemical formula for the carbon monoxide is CO.
Carbon monoxide formula?
CO is the formula for carbon monoxide :)
Can carbon monoxide be used in fire extinguisher?
Not really. Carbon monoxide fumes are toxic and it is cheaper and easier to produce (and use) carbon dioxide instead. Additionally, carbon monoxide is flammable. It reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide.
An ingredient in tobacco smoke that seriously limits the body's ability to use oxygen is?
Carbon monoxide seriously limits the body's ability to use oxygen.
When you exhale do you breathe out carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide?
of course we breathe out carbon dioxide not carbon monoxide
How much carbon monoxide does soda have?
Soda does not have any amounts of carbon monoxide. It has carbon dioxide dissolved in it, but no carbon monoxide.

What form of pollution has one oxygen atom but is still poisonous but you cant see it or smell it?
Carbon Monoxide carbon monoxide carbon monoxide I believe
What is the chemical formula for the Carbon monoxide (covalent)?
The chemical formula for the carbon monoxide is CO.
What filter should you use to reduce carbon monoxide emissions?
carbon monoxide is a rich indicator, if you are producing too much, you have a fuel system problem.
Is carbon monoxide CO2?
No, carbon monoxide is CO. CO2 is carbon dioxide.
Can you smell carbon monoxide when it burns?
No. Carbon monoxide is odorless.
