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 gases are contained in the products of incomplete combustion?

Incomplete combustion means burning in a lack of air (not enough oxygen). If there is not enough oxygen available for all the carbon to turn into carbon dioxide (complete combustion), then some or all of the carbon turns to carbon monoxide. This happens with any hydrocarbon - we shall take methane as an example. During incomplete combustion methane gas burns with a yellow flame (unlike the clear blue flame seen in complete combustion). Carbon particles (sooty marks) may also be seen. methane + oxygen carbon monoxide + water. 2CH4(g) + 3O2(g) 2CO(g) + 4H2O(l)


Why do dead people's fingernails turn blue?

After death, blood circulation stops, causing blood to pool in the capillaries under the fingernails. This pooling of deoxygenated blood can give the fingernails a bluish appearance due to lack of oxygen.


How do you clear carbon monoxide from a home?

The most effective way to clear carbon monoxide from a home is to ventilate the area by opening windows and doors to let fresh air in. Turn off any sources of carbon monoxide, such as gas appliances, and evacuate the space if levels are dangerously high. It's crucial to have carbon monoxide detectors installed to monitor levels and ensure safety.


How can you obtain carbon monoxide from the mixture of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide?

if you want to purify carbon monoxide, at first you'll need to create high pressure and temperature. then in that atmosphere let carbon monoxide react with oxygen. .... the carbon monoxide will turn into carbon Di oxide..then you can simply purify carbon Di oxide. - - - - - Pure carbon monoxide is an important industrial gas, and the easiest way to make absolutely pure CO is to heat solid carbon to over 800 degrees C and pass pure oxygen over it. At that temperature, CO2 does NOT form and you get pre-purified CO. If you have "producer" gas--CO and nitrogen--you could liquify the CO in an air liquifying machine.

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


Why do fingernails turn blue when dead?

Well, the actual nail is always dead, just like your hair. The blue comes from something like a bruise in the skin underneath the nail.
