What else can I help you with?
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.
What is the compound formed by monoxide and oxygen?
The compound formed by monoxide and oxygen is dioxide. For example, carbon monoxide combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide.
Differentiate between carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide?
Carbon dioxide is CO2. There is no such chemical as carbon mono dioxide, but carbon monoxide is CO.
When you exhale do you breathe out carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide?
When you exhale, you breathe out carbon dioxide, not carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide is a natural byproduct of cellular respiration in the body and is transported to the lungs where it is exhaled. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas produced by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels.
How does molecule of carbon monoxide differ from a molecule of carbon dioxide?
Carbon monoxide is CO and carbon dioxide is CO2.
What are the ten gases?
Most common gas pollutants: Carbon dioxide Carbon monoxide Nitrogen dioxide Nitrogen monoxide Dinitrogen monoxide Sulfur dioxide Sulfur trioxide ChloroFluoroCarbons Methane Ammonia
Do cars emit carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide?
The principle carbon emission from cars is carbon dioxide. There is some carbon monoxide in the direct engine exhaust if the engine does not have the right air/fuel mixture. This is usually removed by proper operation (since 1975) of the catalytic converter.
Does plants change carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide?
No, plants do not convert carbon monoxide (CO) to carbon dioxide (CO2). Plants are able to absorb and store carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, but they do not have the ability to convert carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide is typically produced by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels.
Is air completely empty?
No. The air you breath is made up of several elements which are gases including: Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide
What is the benefit of a catalytic converter changing carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide?
Converting carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide is beneficial because carbon dioxide is less toxic to humans and the environment than carbon monoxide. This conversion helps reduce the harmful effects of carbon monoxide emissions on air quality and human health.
Is carbon monoxide CO2?
No, carbon monoxide is CO. CO2 is carbon dioxide.
Can carbon monoxide detectors detect carbon dioxide?
No. Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are two different substances with different properties.
