i think this has something to do with the ratio of C/O as compared to that of CO2 where the ratio of C/O is less. a sooty flame is an indicator of a lot of C
Selenium nitrate typically gives a pink or reddish flame color when subjected to a flame test.
A: If you put a piece of copper wire on any type of flame (most preferably cooking flames), then you would observe that they produce a green color in the flame. Sometimes, it might give youa blue tinge but if it doesn't, it doesn't mean that there's something wrong with the copper you're using.
Examples of toxic gases include carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and chlorine. These gases can be harmful or even deadly when inhaled in high concentrations, causing a range of health issues from respiratory problems to organ damage.
Complete oxidation of alkanes by oxygen yeilds carbon dioxide and water. Alkanes oxidation by O2, (CxH2x+2) + O2 = x CO2 + x+1 H2O. With Halogens it would be CyH2y+2 + X2 = CyX2y+2 + (y+2) HX. Carbon Carbon bonds often do not break in halogen oxidation. "often"
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.
No, because candles do not give off Carbon Monoxide.
No, a battery does not produce carbon monoxide as it does not involve combustion or burning of fuel. Carbon monoxide is mainly produced by incomplete combustion of fossil fuels.
Flame of itself is yellow/white. This is white hot carbon particles. Carbon, per se, does not form ions and so cannot give a flame test colour.
CO, (or Carbon Monoxide)
All plastics give of carbon monoxide when burned, the amount of carbon monoxide depends on what type of plastic is being burned, so don't burn plastic cause too much carbon monoxide is bad for all life on earth and the ozone! :)
Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide to name but a couple of gasses.
Household appliances that can emit carbon monoxide include gas stoves, furnaces, water heaters, and fireplaces. It is important to ensure proper ventilation and maintenance of these appliances to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
Old cars give off more carbon dioxide because they do not have catalytic converters. Catalytic converters act as catalysts, converting dangerous substances such carbon monoxide into harmless compounds.
Yes, burning propane in a fireplace can produce carbon monoxide. It is important to have proper ventilation and regular maintenance to ensure safe operation and minimize the risk of carbon monoxide exposure. A carbon monoxide detector is also recommended to alert you of any dangerous levels in your home.
Carbon Monoxide depending on the type of fuel.
Carbon monoxide (CO), also called carbonic oxide, is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas which is lighter than air. It is highly toxic to humans and animals in higher quantities, although it is also produced in normal animal metabolism in low quantities, and is thought to have some normal biological functions.It consists of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom, connected by a covalent double bond and a dative covalent bond. It is the simplest oxocarbon, and is an anhydride of formic acid. In coordination complexes the carbon monoxide ligand is called carbonyl.Carbon monoxide is produced from the partial oxidation of carbon-containing compounds; it forms when there is not enough oxygen to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), such as when operating a stove or an internal combustion engine in an enclosed space. Carbon monoxide burns with a blue flame, producing carbon dioxide.[1]
The carbon atom in carbon dioxide has an oxidation state of 4+ (It's missing 4 electrons.) The carbon atom in carbon monoxide has an oxidation state of 2+ (It's only missing two electrons.) A reducing agent is something that will give electrons to another substance. Carbon dioxide has less electrons to give than carbon monoxide, making it not as good of a reducing agent.
