Carbon Monoxide can be burned as a seldom used waste fuel to create carbon dioxide, however, this is uncommon. It is most likely found on fired HRSG units from a gas turbine as the turbine generally produces more than desired CO levels.
CO is the result of incomplete combustion of a carbon atom.
Take methane (the majority component of natural gas):
CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O
If burned without enough air you would get CO instead of CO2, pushed farther, you would also have C left over as soot. Excess CO can also explode with any unburnt fuel in the right circumstances.
What else can I help you with?
Will candle produce nitrogen when it's burning?
Will candle produce nitrogen when it's burning? The only substances produced are carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and water. Under perfect circumstances. So called efficient burning.
Does the oxygen burned from fire turn into carbon dioxide?
Not on its own, and it depends on what is burning. A fire can only produce carbon dioxide if the substance burning with the oxygen contains carbon. And even then, if there are other elements, you will get more substances as products. Carbon will produce carbon dioxide and usually some carbon monoxide as well. Hydrogen will produce water vapor. Sulfur will produce sulfur dioxide. Magnesium will produce magnesium oxide.
How are carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide emitted?
The principle ways carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are emitted is from the burning of fossil fuels. This can be in coal burning to produce electricity. The burning of gasoline and diesel in automobiles and trucks also produces carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Aviation in all its forms burns Jet Kerosene which is also a major source. Respiration in living things such animals and humans etc, produces carbon dioxide but NOT carbon monoxide in any appreciable quantity.
Do cigarettes produce both carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide?
Cigarettes produce both carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide when they are burned. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas that interferes with the blood's ability to carry oxygen, while carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming.
Which new gas is formed when carbon monoxide is oxidised?
Carbon dioxide is formed when carbon monoxide is oxidized. Carbon monoxide reacts with oxygen in the air in the presence of a catalyst to produce carbon dioxide.
Does burning wood produce carbon monoxide?
Yes, burning wood can produce carbon monoxide.
Is carbon monoxide in coal?
No. But burning coal will likely produce carbon monoxide.
Will candle produce nitrogen when it's burning?
Will candle produce nitrogen when it's burning? The only substances produced are carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and water. Under perfect circumstances. So called efficient burning.
What might produce carbon monoxide in a house?
Carbon monoxide is obtained from a not complete burning.
What chemicals come from burning carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide is transformed in carbon dioxide by oxidation.
What is the product of burning carbon monoxide?
The product of burning carbon monoxide is carbon dioxide (CO2).
Why does burning petrol in a car engine produce carbon dioxide as well as carbon monoxide?
because the petrol reacts with the air forming sulphur dioxide. Then the sulphur dioxide goes through the catalytic converter and is then change into a less harmful gas, carbon diioxide and carbon monoxide.
What is the role of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in vehicles?
Carbon monoxide is the waste produced from burning a fossil fuel

Carbon dioxide is formed when carbon monoxide is oxidized. Carbon monoxide reacts with oxygen in the air in the presence of a catalyst to produce carbon dioxide.
How burning carbon in air can lead o the formation of carbon monoxide?
The formation of carbon dioxide. Burning coal that releases only carbon dioxide means the coal is completely burnt and more energy is produced. Carbon monoxide is released when the combustion process is incomplete.
