Why is carbon monoxide dangerous and how?
It makes it so you can't take in oxygen.
Which is dangerous to breathe carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide?
Both can be dangerous. CO2 from the side of if there is only co2 there is no oxygen. However, Carbon monoxide can bind 10 times stronger to the iron centre in haemoglobin than oxygen does, therefore you cannot transport oxygen around your body. I'd say due to this, CO is likely to be far more dangerous
Do human need carbon monoxide to survive?
The body makes all the carbon monoxide it needs, which isn't much but it's more than none.
What substance can poison and destroy red blood cells?
Carbon monoxide - if the haemoglobin (the substance which makes the cell red) is poisoned by carbon monoxide the whole cell is destroyed
Can you smell carbon monoxide gas at any point?
No, and that's what makes it so dangerous. It's a deadly gas but there are gases that are worse. You can smell those gases, and you can't smell CO.
Why is carbon monoxide dangerous and how?
It makes it so you can't take in oxygen.
Will carbon monoxide in a car cabin cause eyes to burn?
No. That's what makes carbon dioxide so dangerous: you can't see, smell, or feel it.
What is in carbon monoxide that makes it so dangerous?
Carbon monoxide binds to the hemoglobin in the red blood cells preferentially to oxygen. So the affected red blood cells do not carry oxygen to the body cells. This starves the cells of oxygen and they will then die.

What happens when carbon compounds undergo uncomplete combustion?
I think it makes carbon monoxide

What compound does sodium carbon dioxide and carbo monoxide make?
it makes nothing
Which gas makes the most stable combionation with Hb of RBC?
Carbon monoxide.
How does volcanic activity affect carbon dioxide?
it seperates the diatomic molecule and makes it a monotomic molecule, or carbon monoxide
What substance interferes with the body's ability to carry oxygen?
The substance that makes it difficult for the blood to carry oxygen throughout the body is carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is also poisonous the cells in the body.
