What is Carbon Monoxide's chemical makeup?

Question

Please only answer if you are SURE of it. I need to know the dangerous makeup when It is a gas.

Answer 1

Carbon monoxide: Molecular formula CO
Molar mass: 28.0101 g/mol
Appearance: Colorless, odorless gas

Answer 2

Carbon monoxyde is 1 carbon, 1 oxygen.

Answer 3

Carbon monoxide, with the chemical formula CO, is a colourless, odourless, and tasteless gas. It is the product of the incomplete combustion of carbon--containing compounds, notably in internal-combustion engines. It still has significant fuel value, burning in air with a characteristic blue flame, producing carbon dioxide. Despite its serious toxicity, CO is extremely valuable and underpins much modern technology, being a precursor to myriad useful - even life-saving - products.

Carbon monoxide in the atmosphere
Carbon monoxide, though thought of as a pollutant today, has always been present in the atmosphere, chiefly as a product of volcanic activity. It occurs dissolved in molten volcanic rock at high pressures in the earth's mantle. Carbon monoxide contents of volcanic gases vary from less than 0.01% to as much as 2% depending on the volcano. It also occurs naturally in bushfires. Because natural sources of carbon monoxide are so variable from year to year, it is extremely difficult to accurately measure natural emissions of the gas.

Carbon monoxide has an indirect radiative forcing effect by elevating concentrations of methane and tropospheric ozone through chemical reactions with other atmospheric constituents (e.g., the hydroxyl radical, OH) that would otherwise destroy them. Carbon monoxide is created when carbon-containing fuels are burned incompletely. Through natural processes in the atmosphere, it is eventually oxidized to carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide concentrations are both short-lived in the atmosphere and spatially variable.

Anthropogenic CO from automobile and industrial emissions may contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming. In urban areas carbon monoxide, along with aldehydes, reacts photochemically to produce peroxy radicals. Peroxy radicals react with nitrogen oxide to increase the ratio of NO2 to NO, which reduces the quantity of NO that is available to react with ozone. Carbon monoxide is also a constituent of tobacco smoke.

Physiological roles
One reaction in the body produces CO. Carbon monoxide is produced naturally as a breakdown of haemoglobin, heme, is a substrate for the enzyme heme oxygenase which produces CO and biliverdin. The biliverdin is converted to bilirubin by biliverdin reductase in macrophages of the reticuloendothelial system. The lipid soluble unconjugated bilirubin is transported in the blood bound to albumin, taken up by the hepatocytes, conjugated with glucuronic acid and transported into the bile canaliculi for excretion from the body. The endogenously produced CO may have important physiological roles in the body (eg as a neurotransmitter).

CO has a significant role in microbiology being a nutrient for methanogenic bacteria,[8] a building block for acetylcoenzyme A. This theme is the subject for the emerging field of bioorganometallic chemistry. In bacteria, CO is produced via the reduction of carbon dioxide via the enzyme carbon monoxide dehydrogenase, an Fe-Ni-S-containing protein.[9]

A haeme-based CO-sensor protein, CooA, is known.[10] The scope of its biological role is still unclear, it is apparently part of a signalling pathway in bacteria and archaea, but its occurrence in mammals is not established.

Answer 4

Its formula is CO.
It is a highly poisonous gas which has no smell and can kill you very easily without you noticing it. It makes you feel drowsy, you fall asleep and never wake up.

It is formed when organic matter burns with insufficient oxygen. It is also present in domestic gas. OK?

Answer 5

basically, the symbol for carbon monoxide is CO
since there are no subscripts, there are only one molecule of each in the compound making it: C1O1

Answer 6

1:1 ratio of carbon and oxygen. This is basic chemistry

Answer 7

One carbon molecule, one Oxygen molecule. Deadly.

Answer 8

it is CO (carbon monoxide).

Answer 9

It's definitely CO.
