Carbon Monoxide

I believe that it is law in some states to have a carbon monoxide detector, but regardless of whether or not it is law, it would be extremely wise to invest in a good working carbon monoxide gas detector. It is an odorless gas, and is a silent killer. Do yourself a favour and replace the one that is not working.

The chemical formula for the carbon monoxide is CO.

The chemical formula for carbon monoxide is CO while that for carbon dioxide is CO2. Both are colourless and odourless gases, but CO2 will form a white precipitate with limewater. CO is toxic to humans; CO2 causes the enhanced greenhouse effect that leads to global warming.

When your chimney is old and the lining comes undone, you are at a very high risk of smoke and carbon monoxide poisoning. Instead of building a new chimney from scratch, there is a cheaper option of just putting in a new chimney liner. Here is a short breakdown of the steps that you will need to follow.

1. The first thing that you need to do is put a probe down your chimney to check for and remove any obstructions that may be lodged within it. While doing this you can get to measure the interior of the chimney as well.

2. You will then need to clean the chimney. You can call a chimney sweep to do it for you or choose to do it yourself. You will need a cleaning brush that has a chain attached to it so that you can lower it into the chimney and pull it back up repetitively. They are very easy to find in hardware shops.

3. Step three is to choose a chimney liner suited to your chimney requirements. Very cheap options to go with are the flexible ones made from materials such as stainless steel. Make sure that you get the best fitting chimney liner so that you do not use up too much interior space of the chimney.

4. Lower the chimney liner from the top of the chimney. If you have a line lowered down and a wench at the top you will be able to do it easily using the line to draw the chimney liner in place. This should be done very slowly and carefully to avoid damaging the liner. A couple of plates should then be attached to keep the liner firmly in place. The plates will also keep the smoke from escaping into your home through the smoke chamber.

5. Step 5 will require that you make a mixture of vermiculite and cement which you will then pour down the chimney carefully. This mixture goes in between the chimney liner and the stone of the chimney itself. This step is done to properly insulate the chimney.

Kidde is a type of Carbon Monoxide detector. Since Carbon Monoxide can not be smelled, it is generally a good idea to have a device that can detect such a chemical as a safety precaution.

Not very big in molecular terms. of the order of 150 pm. (picometers)

When CO is not ventilated it binds to hemoglobin, which is the principal oxygen-carrying compound in blood; this produces a compound known as carboxyhemoglobin. The traditional belief is that carbon monoxide toxicity arises from the formation of carboxyhemoglobin, which decreases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood and inhibits the transport, delivery, and utilization of oxygen by the body. The affinity between hemoglobin and carbon monoxide is approximately 230 times stronger than the affinity between hemoglobin and oxygen so hemoglobin binds to carbon monoxide in preference to oxygen. ~ Wikipedia.

Carbon monoxide mostly emanates from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels such as gasoline, diesel, natural gas, and wood. It can be released from sources like car engines, power plants, industrial processes, and home heating systems. It is a colorless, odorless gas that can be highly toxic when inhaled.

No, carbon monoxide is a compound composed of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom. It is not a mixture of different substances.

You need a carbon monoxide detector, a good heating system, a good ventilation.

Yes, I believe there is. If a driver wrecks a truck because he passes out and the hospital says it is carbon monoxide poisoning, how can you question whether it is real or not? This has happened several times in several different situations

The carbon monoxide levels in your home may be at their highest during cold weather for a couple of reasons. First, if the weather is cold you are likely running the heater, and gas- or oil-fired heaters can produce carbon monoxide. Second, you probably keep the windows and doors closed as much as possible, trapping carbon monoxide inside the house.

The carbon monoxide emitted by a car may increase when it is cold because the engine burns fuel less efficiently when the engine is cold.

Examples are: nausea, discomfort, headache, sign of fatigue.

Detector is not for carbon monoxide. It is for carbon dioxide.

Yes ciggeratte smoke contains.Co gas forms in high temperatures.

in every sample of carbon monoxide ,the mass ratio of carbon to oxygen is 3:4

Inside a catalytic converter they are combined with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.

inboard gas engine exhaust

The most important are:
- rooms must be ventilated
- the fire must be controlled

It is not ionic. It is a covalent compound.

Never be down on the water close to the engine exhaust port.

Carbon monoxide is a heavier-than-air gas generated by incomplete burning. It is colorless and odorless, and kills by binding to blood cells better than oxygen does. Carbon monoxide poisoning is especially a problem for pontoon boats with outboard motors; the pontoons trap the exhaust gasses between the hulls, and the exhaust port is right at water level. If a child swims between the pontoons with the engine idling, he's running a real risk of CO poisoning, which is a nasty way to die.

There is not a way. It may kill you.

One molecule of carbon monoxide (CO) is composed of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom. The carbon atom is bonded to the oxygen atom through a triple bond, which includes one sigma bond and two pi bonds. This structure gives carbon monoxide its unique properties, including being a colorless, odorless gas that can be toxic in high concentrations.

No, vapor does not contain carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels, such as gasoline or wood. Vapors are typically composed of a mixture of gases and do not necessarily contain carbon monoxide.
