No, it is not. Carbon monoxide is produced by the incomplete combustion of petrol in air. Petrol is octane (C8H18), containing no oxygen atoms, whereas carbon monoxide, CO, has an oxygen atom. Complete combustion of octane goes: C8H18 + 12.5(O2 +3.76N2) --> 8CO2 + 9H2O + 47N2 Petrol Air Carbon dioxide Nitrogen Water Thus in a petrol fire with plenty of oxygen, no carbon monoxide is produced. However in a car's cylinder, there is likely to be more fuel and less oxygen than in this idealised combustion situation. There will still be mostly carbon dioxide and water as combustion products, but some of the carbon will partially oxidise carbon to carbon monoxide rather than dioxide. Although CO2 is a greenhouse gas, it is a less immediately dangerous substance than CO, which sticks to your red blood cells tighter than oxygen does - so tightly, in fact, that it won't let go, and the capacity of your blood to carry much-needed oxygen to your cells. Instead of bright red oxyhaemoglobin, CO combines with blood to produce cherry-pink carboxyhaemoglobin. A sign of CO poisoning is a cherry-pink complexion.
What else can I help you with?
What burns and gives off water and carbon dioxide?
A hydrocarbon like methane, propane, or gasoline burns in the presence of oxygen to give off water vapor and carbon dioxide. This is a common chemical reaction that occurs during combustion.
What do plants give off as a waste product but they need carbon dioxide to survive?
Plants give off oxygen as a waste product through the process of photosynthesis, where they use carbon dioxide to produce energy. This oxygen is released into the atmosphere and is essential for many living organisms, including humans, to breathe and survive.
Do humans inhale carbon dioxide?
Humans breathe in whatever happens to be in the air when they breathe in. If there is carbon dioxide then they will breathe it in as well as nitrogen and oxygen. However they only use the oxygen for respiration so they breathe out everything else with extra carbon dioxide.
Oxygen is added to an ecosysem by?
Oxygen is added to an ecosystem primarily through the process of photosynthesis carried out by plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. These organisms utilize carbon dioxide and sunlight to produce oxygen as a byproduct. Oxygen can also be added to aquatic ecosystems through the process of diffusion from the atmosphere into the water.
How are oxygen and carbon dioxide cycle on earth are related?
They are related because it is a cycle of gas which an organism need in order to survive for example: a coconut tree inhaled carbon dioxide that comes from animals, they need it in order for photosynthesis they also give off oxygen that we also need
How do monkeys give off carbon dioxide?
Monkeys give off carbon dioxide when they exhale - the same as humans do!
What gas does yeast give off?
It gives off carbon dioxide which proves that it respires.
Do cells use carbon dioxide?
No. Animal cells use Oxygen and give off carbon dioxide as a waste product. Plant cells use carbon dioxide and give off oxygen.
What does a car give off?
carbon dioxide
What do animals give off?
Carbon dioxide
Do muscles give off carbon dioxide?
no.
What gas does baking powder give off?
Carbon dioxide, CO2
In total darkness does a plant give off carbon dioxide?
A plant does give off Carbon Dioxide at night when there is not enough light for photosynthesis to occur.
What is a substance that emits carbon dioxide?
animal decaying would give off carbon dioxide
What is it that Plants and animals take in and then give off?
Plants take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. Animals take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide through the process of respiration. This exchange of gases is essential for the survival of both plants and animals.
When petrol in a car is used up where does all that used up petrol go?
The petrol undergoes combustion in the presence of oxygen from the atmosphere and is converted into energy, carbon dioxide, and water. The energy runs the engine, and carbon dioxide and water are given off as waste products. And banana
Do eucalyptus trees give off Carbon Dioxide?
Yes, eucalyptus trees undergo the process of photosynthesis where they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. So, in general, eucalyptus trees do not give off carbon dioxide.
