Detector is not for carbon monoxide. It is for carbon dioxide.

Is will carbon monoxide catch fire in a heated utility room?

no


Can noxious fumes be emitted from furnace?

YES from the exhaust gas. If the exhaust flue has a leak or the heat exchanger has a leak into the house air Carbon Monoxide can build up in the heated house air and kill anyone in the house. The major problem is a person can not smell carbon monoxide. If you are getting frequent headaches have a heating contractor check your house air for carbon monoxide or buy a carbon monoxide detector at a hardware store and test your air yourself.


Will carbon monoxide catch fire in a heated utility room?

The probability is not significant.


Is carbon monoxide flamable?

No, however, heated carbon monoxide will readily bond with oxygen to remove it from ores but it not "flammable".


Does carbon monoxide appears only in houses that have fireplace?

It can be a problem in any house that uses natural gas, fuel oil, propane, or a fireplace. Basically if anything is heated with a flame you could have carbon monoxide.


Name a reducing agent that may be used to obtain manganese from manganese dioxide?

Carbon monoxide is a reducing agent commonly used to obtain manganese from manganese dioxide. When heated with manganese dioxide, carbon monoxide reduces the dioxide to yield manganese and carbon dioxide.


When coal is heated in the absence of air what is the gas called?

The gas produced when coal is heated in the absence of air is called coal gas. It is a mixture of various gases such as methane, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide.


Why the water gets heated when current is passed through carbon rods in it?

The carbon rods have electrical resistance. Thisi causes them to heat when current is passed through them. The water gets heated by the carbon rods.


Why carbon dioxide is produes when carbon is heated?

When carbon is heated, it reacts with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide through combustion. The high temperature breaks the molecular bonds in the carbon, allowing it to combine with oxygen atoms to form carbon dioxide gas as a byproduct. This is a common chemical reaction known as oxidation.


How does the heating with carbon monoxide process work when extracting minerals from its ores?

In the process of heating with carbon monoxide, carbon monoxide acts as a reducing agent. It reacts with the metal oxides in the mineral ores to reduce them to their pure metal form. This process is used to extract metals like iron from their ores by forming volatile metal carbonyl compounds that can be decomposed to produce the pure metal.


How is carbon monoxide converted into carbon dioxide in a catalytic converter?

Carbon monoxide is very inflammable, so you simply set light to it. It then takes up another oxygen atom and forms the stable molecule CO2. By the way, in the UK before the days of North Sea gas, the gas distributed to homes came from gasworks which used coal to produce it. It was known as town gas and was almost entirely CO. Being very poisonous people would commit suicide by putting their heads into an unlit gas oven. The gas companies used to put something into the gas to make it smell to warn people in case there was a gas leak.


What is the equation of heated oxalic acid?

The equation for the decomposition of oxalic acid upon heating is: $2C_2H_2O_4 → 2CO_2 + 2H_2O + C_2O_2$ This reaction results in the formation of carbon dioxide, water, and carbon monoxide.
