Is carbon monoxcide heavier than oxygen?

Oxygen as a gas is heavier than carbonmonoxide This is because carbon monoxide consists of one oxygen atom and one carbon atom. This says that if the mass of oxygen is x and the mass of carbon is x-z (its not as heavy as oxygen) then a carbon monoxide molecule is 2x-z. Also we must keep in mind that z is smaller than x. On the other hand an oxygen molecule is 2x. It is obvious that 2x is larger than 2x-z unless z is 0 or smaller. However z cant be 0 or smaller because then carbon as an atom would be heavier than oxygen which it isn't. However Carbon Monoxide is heavier than oxygen as an atom. Again we can say CO is 2x-z and since z is less than x, 2x-z>x. Also x is an oxygen atoms mass. So CO>O but CO<O2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Where do lungs exchange oxygen and carbon monoxide?

The lungs do not exchange oxygen and carbon monoxide. They exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. They do that in the aveoli.


What happens when oxygen reacts with carbon monoxide?

When oxygen reacts with carbon monoxide, it forms carbon dioxide. This reaction releases energy and is often used in combustion processes. Carbon monoxide is oxidized to carbon dioxide in the presence of excess oxygen.

When carbon burns in limited oxygen is carbon monoxide produced?

Yes, when carbon burns in limited oxygen, it can produce carbon monoxide. This is because there is not enough oxygen present to form carbon dioxide, so carbon monoxide is formed instead.

Is monoxide a metal?

NO!!! The word 'monoxide' indicates that a substance, NOT an element, has one(1) oxygen in its formula. e.g. Carbon monoxide (CO) or Nitrogen monoxide (NO)
