Carbon monoxide is quite stable, and is formed by the combustion of carbon in inadequate supply of oxygen.

What element if you combine carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide?

When carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are combined, they do not react to form a new compound. Both carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) are stable molecules with different chemical structures and properties.


How is carbon monoxide produced and how does it act as a poison?

Carbon monoxide is produced by incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. Haemoglobin in your blood is not a stable compound, such that it can transport oxygen around your body. What carbon monoxide does is to react with the haemoglobin to form carboxyhaemoglobin, which is a stable compound, and you wouldn't get enough oxygen, which then you die of asphyxiation (if I didn't forget anything).

What is carbon-monoxide poisining?

Carbon monoxide poisoning happens when CO is absorbed into the haemoglobin rather than oxygen. The carboxyhaemoglobin is more stable than the oxyhaemolobin and essentially takes the haemoglobin "out of service" as a medium for transferring oxygen to the cells.
