Why is carbon monoxide more likely to be formed in engines than if the fuel were burnt in the open air?

Carbon monoxide forms when the oxygen supply is limited, which is more likely to happen inside the cylinder of an engine than in the open air.

Does charcoal contain carbon monoxide?
It does not contain carbon monoxide, but it will likely produce carbon monoxide when burned.
Is carbon monoxide in coal?
No. But burning coal will likely produce carbon monoxide.
Are carbon monoxide levels are usually highest during cold weather?
The carbon monoxide levels in your home may be at their highest during cold weather for a couple of reasons. First, if the weather is cold you are likely running the heater, and gas- or oil-fired heaters can produce carbon monoxide. Second, you probably keep the windows and doors closed as much as possible, trapping carbon monoxide inside the house. The carbon monoxide emitted by a car may increase when it is cold because the engine burns fuel less efficiently when the engine is cold.
Are there carbon monoxide fumes from a battery charger?
Due to the chemical compositions of batteries (most batteries contain a form of acid which reacts to create electricity) neither the battery charger nor the battery is likely to produce CO (Carbon Monoxide)
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
Why is carbon monoxide more likely to be formed in engines than if the fuel was burnt in the open air?
When fuel is burnt, the carbon bonds with oxygen. If enough oxygen is available this will become carbon dioxide. In engines, less oxygen is available, and so burning the fuel is more likely to form carbon monoxide than in open air.

A child is born prematurely and experiences severe asthma. Which most likely affected cell differentiation when the child was a developing embryo?
Carbon monoxide
Why are carbon dioxide and carbon particles more likely to be formed in engines than if the fuel was burnt in the open air?
Your question assumes that it is more likely for this to happen in engines. It is NOT more likely. Burning a fuel anywhere produces carbon dioxide. The formation of the carbon particles depends on the amount of oxygen available and the tepmerature of combustion.
What is carbon monoxide and how is it harmful to drivers?
it harms the blood stream and takes away blood from the bodies cells.ANS2:Carbon monoxide is odorless, tasteless and colorless. It is produced from the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. A driver in a car with a faulty exhaust system is likely to be exposed to carbon monoxide. It will cause unconsciousness and death.

Was ancient rome polluted?
Polluted with rubbish? Most likely. Polluted with carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide at the same level as we have today? No way Jose.
