Carbon Monoxide

when carbon monoxide enters the body, it alters the hemoglobins in your red blood cells. hemoglobins are what carry oxygen on your red blood cells throughout the body, and when carbon monoxide comes, it allows fewer oxygen molecules to be absorped into the red blood cells.

That can easily be determined by looking at the name

carbon monoxide

you need to beak it down. This molecule has 2 part, 1 of which has a descriptor

Carbon mon oxide

carbon is an element, so no further info needed from that part

mon is a prefix that means one, so one oxide

oxide is oxygen.

so carbon monoxide is 1 carbon atom attached to 1 oxygen atom.

All combustion of carbon containing fuels can produce CO if there is insufficient oxygen to carry the reaction through to full oxidation. Theses rae thetwo overall reacions of alkanes with oxygen:-

CnH(2n+2) + (2n+1) 1/2O2 -> nCO + (n+1) H2O

CnH(2n+2) + (3n+1) 1/2O2 -> nCO2 + (n+1) H2O

There are two overall reactions possible- in excess oxygen the CO from reaction 1 is oxidised to give CO2, (this is the blue flame seen in a log or coal fire)

What actually happens is a lot more complex than the reactions above show, combustion involves a reaction pathway with radicals and chain reactions.

CO is a gas. It has no color

It is a naturally occurring chemical found in vegetables such as beetroot, spinach, and rhubarb. Oxalic acid also occurs in relatively high concentrations in tea, chocolate, and other cocoa products. It combines with calcium and magnesium in the gut to form insoluble salts which impede the absorption of these essential minerals. High concentrations of oxalic acid are toxic, which is why we do not eat rhubarb leaves (they contain very much more oxalic acid than the stems). oxalic acid is also produced in the human body. About 5 per cent of the population suffer from recurrent kidney stones as a result of internal oxalic acid production.

Peripheral cyanosis is a sign of carbon monoxide poisoning.

What carbon monoxide does is bind to the heme group more tightly than oxygen does, crowding out the oxygen so that you effectively suffocate. The symptoms for low exposures are shortness of breath, mild headaches, and mild nausea. Somewhat higher exposures produce more severe headaches and nausea, dizziness, and light-headedness. Some people report a feeling of tightness in the chest as well. However, there are a lot of things that cause similar symptoms. It's hard to be certain without some form of CO monitor. Small personal monitors are available that are carried by people who might potentially be exposed to CO. See the related link section for more information.

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).

If you have gas in your home, it's best to have one carbon monoxide detector on each level of the home. They should be installed outside each sleeping area. You can find them at Home Depot or even at your local Walmart.

A portable carbon monoxide detector is used to sniff an area in a confined space to make sure that there is no carbon monoxide gasses present

before any personnel are allow to enter the confined space.

Carbon monoxide can interfere with the body's ability to transport oxygen, which may impact hormone production. High levels of carbon monoxide can disrupt various bodily functions, but the effects on hormone production may vary depending on the individual and the severity of exposure.

Gas heaters that are not part of a central heating system are considered space heaters and can be dangerous as you have heard. In addition, gas heaters that are improperly used or functioning add the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, especially if they are not vented to the outdoors. Safety precautions are a must with these heaters.

What effect does carbon monoxide have on the body when smoked?

- Firstly carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless colorless gas that is not combustible and therefore cannot be smoked.

- Carbon Monoxide is a byproduct of combustion, and is a component of smoke, it is also prevalent in automobile and electric generator exhaust.

- By Mayo Clinic staff

Carbon monoxide poisoning is an illness caused by exposure to too much carbon monoxide --- a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. Too much carbon monoxide in the air you breathe can greatly diminish your ability to absorb oxygen, leading to serious tissue damage. Carbon monoxide poisoning can lead to death.

Carbon monoxide is produced by appliances and other devices that generate combustion fumes, such as those that burn gas or other petroleum products, wood and other fuels. The danger occurs when too much carbon monoxide accumulates in a contained, poorly ventilated space.

Although the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning can be subtle, the condition is a life-threatening medical emergency. Get immediate care for anyone who may have carbon monoxide poisoning

A Kidde Nighthawk alarm works in such a way that it prevents carbon monoxide poisoning during the night to many families across the world. They contain electrochemical sensing technology that will sense the odorless gas throughout the whole house.

"Carbonopia" is not a recognized term in any scientific or medical context. It does not have a defined meaning and may be a misspelling or a term used in a specific niche area. More context or clarification would be needed to provide a more accurate explanation.

Rats are not allergic to carbon monoxide, but it is toxic to them just as it is to us.

there are two atoms.

C (carbon) and O (oxygen)

the mono stands for one oxygen.

There is also CarbondiOxide

Thats 1 Carbon and 2 Oxides

The canary girls were the United Kingdom's female trinitrotoluene (TNT) shell makers of World War I (1914-1918). The nickname arose because exposure to TNT is toxic, and repeated exposure can turn the skin an orange-yellow colour reminiscent of the plumage of a bird, the canary (which itself was used by miners to detect toxic carbon monoxide in coal mines.)The canary girls were also referred to by the n

Only in a garage or shed. On the road the CO disperses quickly.

The carbon dioxide turns it into bicarbonate, which is an acid. This makes your blood more acidic. When you breathe really fast, you get rid of more of that bicarbonate, which then makes your blood more basic thanks to the acid not being there anymore.
