Because also exist the carbon dioxide - CO2.
There is no single compound called carbon oxide. There are two oxides of carbon: carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Both are compounds.
Carbon monoxide is a neutral oxide because it does not react with water to form an acid.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a diatomic molecule with two atoms: carbon (C) and oxygen (O).
Carbon monoxide is sometimes referred to as CO or as "the silent killer" because it is odorless and colorless, making it difficult to detect without a carbon monoxide detector.
While CO2 does contain carbon and oxygen, it is typically referred to as carbon dioxide rather than carbon oxide. Carbon oxide generally refers to simpler compounds like carbon monoxide (CO) or carbon suboxide (C3O2).
The word equation for the reaction between iron oxide (Fe2O3) and carbon monoxide (CO) is: iron oxide + carbon monoxide → iron + carbon dioxide. In this reaction, iron oxide is reduced to iron, while carbon monoxide is oxidized to carbon dioxide. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2.
nitrous oxide
Zinc oxide can be reduced using carbon monoxide or hydrogen gas at high temperatures. Another reagent that can reduce zinc oxide is carbon in the presence of a reducing agent such as carbon monoxide or hydrogen.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a neutral oxide of carbon because it has equal numbers of carbon and oxygen atoms, resulting in a balanced charge.
Iron oxide + carbon monoxide -> iron + carbon dioxide
Several types of carbon monoxide detectors exist: biomimetic, electrochemical, metal oxide semiconductor.
Nope, it is a neutral gas! all mono oxide gases are neutral..!
