is a colorless, odorless gas that is toxic to humans and animals. When inhaled, it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, reducing their ability to transport oxygen throughout the body. Carbon monoxide poisoning can lead to symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, and in severe cases, loss of consciousness or death.
Yes, carbon monoxide levels can be higher during cold weather. This is because people tend to use fuel-burning devices such as heaters, fireplaces, and generators more frequently to keep warm. If these devices are not properly ventilated or maintained, they can produce higher levels of carbon monoxide, which can be dangerous and even fatal.
Carbon monoxide detectors are available from the Kidde website or other online vendors like Amazon. Kidde products may also be carried by stores such as Home Depot, Lowe's, CVS, Walgreens, and BJ's.
No, there are different organic compounds in tobacco and paper of cigarette which may produce carbon monoxide on burning.
No. Carbon monoxide is the product of burning fossil fuels such as coal or petroleum.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO it is a Diatomic Molecule would be 02, if your doing a science online quiz I would bee glaad to help you with it
- a not complete burning
- photochemical reactions in the troposphere
- natural production in blood
When you burn CO--it is very flammable--the balanced equation is 2CO + O2 = 2CO2.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a diatomic molecule with two atoms: carbon (C) and oxygen (O).
Incomplete combustion of carbon-containing compounds.
No, however, heated carbon monoxide will readily bond with oxygen to remove it from ores but it not "flammable".
Answer: Carbon compounds are ordinarily converted to CO2 in combustion if there is enough air (oxygen). Carbon monoxide (CO) is formed when carbon compounds are burned in a limited amount of air. Lets picture what a carbon atom looks like. Because of the arrangement of the electron shells a carbon atom looks a lot like a tetrahedron with four corners or a caltrop's four points. When carbon is completely burned two oxygen atoms have each grabbed onto two corners (or points of the carbon atom. One set of two corners fills up (this gives off heat). After all the atoms are satisfied the next set fills up to make carbon dioxide (thhis gives off more heat).
When not enough oxygen is present the atoms essentially share the oxygen so many only get the first set of points filled. This leaves most of the carbon as carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide can be collected as a product and burned again if provided with more oxygen.
It might not contain it on its own but, as it is made primarily of organic substances, can produce some carbon monoxide when burned.
All carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is the same, regardless of the source. We presume you mean from diesel exhaust.
CO replaces oxygen in red blood cells and causes oxygen deprivation. In advanced cases it leads to brain damage, the same as from drowning or other forms of suffocation.
Immediate treatment involves removing the patient from the presence of CO, and administering oxygen. If a pressure chamber is available, pure oxygen under pressure can overcome some of the problems until the CO is cleared from the body over time.
If there is brain damage, it is no more "curable" when caused by carbon monoxide poisoning than from any other source. Time and rehabilitation may lead to improvement.
Carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms: - headache - nausea - malaise - fatigue - fast heart rate - low blood pressure - cardiac arrhytmia - delirium - hallucinations -dizziness -unsteady gait - confusion - seizures - central nervous system depression - unconsciousness - respiratory arrest
Yes, carbon monoxide is a covalent compound.
Carbon monoxide is a type of molecule. It contains 1 carbon atom and 1 oxygen atom
