Carbon Monoxide

Carbon monoxide is transformed in carbon dioxide by oxidation.

No, bees cannot breathe carbon monoxide. Like most insects, bees do not have lungs to breathe air like humans; instead, they have a series of tiny tubes called tracheae that deliver oxygen directly to their cells. Carbon monoxide can be toxic to bees and interfere with their respiratory system.

Carbon monoxide poisoning is sometimes mistakenly identified as flu-like symptoms, food poisoning, or a migraine because the symptoms can be similar. It is important to have a carbon monoxide detector in the home to alert to this dangerous gas.

Carbon monoxide enters the body primarily through inhalation of contaminated air. It binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells more readily than oxygen, preventing oxygen from being transported effectively, leading to carbon monoxide poisoning.

To remove carbon monoxide, a carbon filter or a catalytic converter can be used in a ventilation system. These devices help to trap and convert the carbon monoxide into less harmful compounds before releasing the air back into the environment.

It depends on what the CO is being removed from.

Removing it from smoke effluent might be called a "scrubber" or "after-burner".
Removing from human bloodstream might be called "chelation therapy".
Removing it from a tank might be called "releasing the gas", as is sometimes used to euthanize animals.
Removing it from a burning or burned house might be called "ventilation".

The harmful effects of carbon monoxide (CO) does not manifest itself in the lungs. Rather CO acts as a gas similar to oxygen, it diffuses through the lungs tissue as normal and binds to hemoglobin, which is normally used to transport oxygen around the body by binding to it and carrying it around. However, this is where CO becomes harmful. CO enters the bloodstream and binds to hemoglobin with a far greater affinity that oxygen, in essence inactivating the hemoglobin molecule. Therefore hemoglobin is unable to properly transport oxygen since it is already bound up by CO and hypoxia sets in quickly.

There is no way to "cure" CO poisoning in the way to chemically unbind CO from hemoglobin, this is why individuals with CO poisoning must be removed from the CO environment and given 100% oxygen to breath, to allow the slow process of CO dissociation from hemoglobin to occur.

Carbon monoxide is present in exhaust from vehicles, gas stoves, fireplaces, and tobacco smoke. It can be dangerous if inhaled in high concentrations, as it can prevent oxygen from being carried in the bloodstream, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, and in severe cases, death. Proper ventilation and carbon monoxide detectors are important for safety.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is used in the food industry, not Carbon Monoxide (CO). CO2 can be used to create the fizzy bubbles in your soda or the vegetables you eat. The thing is, most of our food contains CO2 in it. Whether consumed directly, such as plants, or indirectly, such as humans eating plants, we all eat Carbon Dioxide. Carbon Monoxide, however, is not used in foods at all.

Central air systems do not produce carbon monoxide on their own. However, if there is a gas furnace within the central air system, there is a potential for carbon monoxide to be produced if the furnace is not functioning properly or is not vented correctly. Regular maintenance and proper installation of gas furnaces can help prevent carbon monoxide leaks.

Breathing does not cause the production of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is typically produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels like gas, oil, and wood.

A simple equation for the production of Carbon Dioxide is;

2O2 + CH4 = 2H2O + CO2,

which is the process of combusting a hydrocarbon in the air.

You get Carbon Monoxide when there is a lack of oxygen, so it's;

3O2 + 2CH4 = 4H2O + 2CO.

used for DLCO studies because it has a higher affinity for hemoglobin than oxygen, allowing for more accurate measurement of gas exchange in the lungs. Additionally, carbon monoxide is safe in small doses and can be easily detected in exhaled breath.

welding gasses are used to block out oxygen from the weld, using an oxide would not be ideal

A: Steel is welded with an Argon/Carbon Dioxide mix....mostly carbon dioxide. 15%/85%. Perhaps CO is too reactive to iron. It is 5 times more likely to bind with the hemoglobin in your blood than oxygen. Probably increases chances of being DEAD.

I imagine it would be more expensive than CO2 as well as CO2 is pretty comonly used!!

Carbon monoxide is primarily released into the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels in vehicles, industrial processes, and wildfires. This carbon monoxide can exist in the atmosphere as a gas known as CO, which can contribute to air pollution and health issues.

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

An increase of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere can lead to harmful health effects, such as dizziness, nausea, and even death in severe cases. It can also contribute to air pollution and worsen respiratory conditions like asthma. Additionally, carbon monoxide is a greenhouse gas that can contribute to global warming.

Carbon monoxide, which has a higher affinity for hemoglobin in the red blood cell, displaces oxygen from the hemoglobin molecule, thus decreasing the oxygen level in the bloodstream, and reducing its delivery to the bodily tissues and cells.

The cost of carbon monoxide depends on the source where it is obtained. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas commonly produced during incomplete combustion of fuels. However, it is not typically bought or sold for specific use given its toxicity.

Carbon Monoxide is a molecule that exists normally (at sea level on Earth) as a gas. It does not have an antonym, an opposite. It is a triple covalent bond of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom. It has no graded (good/bad), relational (parent/child, ruler/subject), or complementary (run/walk) opposite.

Yes, you can potentially sue for damages if you have suffered harm from carbon monoxide poisoning. You would need to prove that the carbon monoxide exposure was due to someone else's negligence and that it caused you harm. It is recommended to consult with a legal professional for guidance on your specific situation.

Carbon monoxide has a half-life of about 5 hours in a person's body, meaning it takes this amount of time for half the carbon monoxide in the system to be eliminated. So, for most of it to be removed from the body, it would take approximately 1 day.

Carbon monoxide typically leaves the body within a few hours after exposure, as it gets slowly exhaled from the lungs. However, it can linger for up to a few days depending on the level of exposure. It is important to seek fresh air and medical attention if experiencing symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.

The Heme in the red blood cell has almost 200 times the affinity for CO than for O2. This means that when lots of CO is present, it will displace the O2 on the Heme binding cites. Thus causing the body to be oxygen starved (Hypoxia). The cure is hyperbaric therapy or 100% oxygen until the CO is cleared from body. Hope that helps.

It latches onto the red blood cells (which carry on oxygen around the body) this significantly lessens (or stops fully) The amount of oxygen being supplied to your body. Without oxygen, you die. ( If exposed to the carbon monoxide long enough that is) other the person will just be left with breathing problems.
