Carbon Monoxide Detectors can simply be plugged into an electrical outlet, providing you with ample security against carbon monoxide. Dual smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detectors can even be found. They are not the same thing, but they can be bought as one unit.

Why do you need a carbon monoxide alarm?
Carbon monoxide is colourless and without odour - and a build up in an enclosed or a poorly ventilated area, could cause asphyxiation leading to death.
What is water gas and how it is prepared?
The mixture of equimolecular amounts of hydrogen and carbon monoxide is called water gas.
Could you explain the differences between organic and inorganic compounds?
Basically, all organic compounds have carbon and organic chemistry is the study of carbon based comounds. Inorganic generally do not contain carbon (with exceptions being carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, metal carbonates, metal bicarbonates and metal carbides).
What happens if you burn something with not enough oxygen?
When you burn something without enough oxygen for complete burning, you get incomplete burning; for example, instead of getting carbon dioxide as a combustion product, you could get carbon monoxide.
How could methane burn to produce carbon monoxide?
methane could burn in an area with a low concentration of oxygen, this incomplete combustion would have the following "balanced" (or stoichiometric) equation; CH4 + 1 1/2 O2 -> CO + 2H2O the complete combustion (where excess oxygen is present) would be; CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O The key differnce between the two is that complete combustion produces water and carbon dioxide, incomplete combustion produces carbon monoxide and water.

Which is the best precaution against carbon monoxide poisoning on a boat?
Keep air flowing through the vessel. You could get a corbon monoxide detector, they work in a similar way to a smoke alarm. At least then you will get a warning.
Why should charcoal grills or charcoal fires not be used to heat the inside of a house?
You could end up killing yourself. Burning creates large amounts of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide in large quantities is fatal to animals and has killed thousands. it could also block up your lungs and give you a slow pain full death
Smell in my house from the oil burner It does not smell like fuel When you walk in the house it burns your nose and throat but it smells different than oil What could it be is it dangerous?
Yes this can be dangerous. It may be that the heat exchanger of your furnace is cracked and allowing carbon monoxide fumes in your house. Call a tech! Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas, you wouldn't be able to smell it. Install a carbon monoxide detector so you will know.
When carbon monoxide and oxygen react carbon dioxide forms?
carbon oxide, though it could be either carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide.
Can you take aspirin for carbon monoxide poisoning?
The cure for carbon monoxide poisoning is fresh air and oxygen. It gives you a headache so you could take aspirin for that.
How does black smoke from vehicle harm people?
The black smoke emission has carbon and other carbon compounds such as Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide these gases especially carbon monoxide is highly dangerous if unhealed.Carbon monoxide could cause several severe health problems.The color black of the smoke is due to the unburned carbon this is also harmful.There are a lot of chemical in black smoke which could be harmful for your health
Could carbon monoxide causes acid rain?
Not directly; carbon doxide can cause an acid rain.
the ceatoon of carbon monoxide in an effect . what is one cause?
A. the regrouping of the atoms in table salt This is because carbon monoxide is extremely toxic for us humans. An example of this could be pollution.
What element could be used to remove oxygen from iron oxide?
Carbon Monoxide
What toxic gas could be formed by the incomplete combustion of butane?
Carbon monoxide.
What condition is often confused with the early stage of carbon monoxide?
It depends on how one interprets the symptoms. The early stages of carbon monoxide poisoning include headaches, dizziness and nausea, and so could be confused with the flu, vertigo or food poisoning. Prolonged exposure to carbon monoxide can result in rapid heart rates which could be confused with a heart or panic attack.
