Large quantities of aldehydes are produced by the hydroformylation reaction of alkenes, carbon monoxide, and H2.

In the Fischer-Tropsch process carbon monoxide is hydrogenated to liquid hydrocarbon fuels. This technology allows coal or biomass to be converted to diesel.

In the Monsanto process, carbon monoxide and methanol react in the presence of a homogeneous rhodium catalyst and HI to give acetic acid. This process is responsible for most of the industrial production of acetic acid.

An industrial scale use for pure carbon monoxide is purifying nickel in the Mond process.

In Biology, carbon monoxide is naturally produced by the action of heme oxygenase 1 and 2 on the heme from hemoglobin breakdown. This process produces a certain amount of carboxyhemoglobin in normal persons, even if they do not breathe any carbon monoxide.

Carbon monoxide are burnt to provide heat for manufacturing processes, to heat homes and to separate metals like iron and nickel, from their ores and even to purify them.

In the form of producer gas or water gas, it is widely used as a fuel in industrial operations. The gas is also an effective reducing agent.

Carbon monoxide also reacts with certain metals, especially iron, cobalt, ruthenium and nickel, to form compounds known as metal-carbonyls. Some of the carbonyls have unusual physical and chemical properties that make them useful in industry and catalysis. The highly toxic nickel tetracarbonyl, for example, is used to produce very pure nickel coatings and powders.

Can carbon monoxide be used in fire extinguisher?

Not really. Carbon monoxide fumes are toxic and it is cheaper and easier to produce (and use) carbon dioxide instead. Additionally, carbon monoxide is flammable. It reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide.

What filter should you use to reduce carbon monoxide emissions?

carbon monoxide is a rich indicator, if you are producing too much, you have a fuel system problem.


What mass of carbon monoxide must react with oxygen to produce 0.69g of carbon dioxide?

To find the mass of carbon monoxide needed, first convert the mass of carbon dioxide to moles using its molar mass. Then, use the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of carbon monoxide to determine the mole ratio between carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Finally, convert the moles of carbon dioxide to mass of carbon monoxide using its molar mass.
