What is the symbol for carbon monoixide, and what reacts to make it? Also is anything else made by the reaction?

The symbol is CO. It's produced industrially by a few methods. One, pass oygen over a bed of coke (carbon). With an excess of carbon it will produce CO and CO2, but we can manipulate it to produce more CO. It's also produced by reacting steam with carbon. Factories that reduce certain metal ores create CO as a by-product. In the lab, we dehydrate formic acid to produce CO gas.

Periodic Table Carbon Monoxide
2016-11-06 12:09:10 · answer #2 · answered by blackstock 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
Carbon monoxide is represented by the formula CO (as opposed to the more common carbon dioxide being CO2). It is formed when carbon, or a compound or mixture containing carbon, undergoes incomplete combustion - i.e. there is insufficient oxygen for the material to burn completely. This is because, with a depleted oxygen supply, each carbon atom can only 'grab' one oxygen atom instead if the usual two; there just aren't enough to go round.
Whether or not anything else is made in the reaction depends on the nature of what is being burned & the level of the oxygen supply. There will also, generally speaking, be some carbon dioxide created.

It's not a symbol, symbols are for elements. Since carbon monoxide is a compound it has a formula. That formula is CO.
It's formed by the combustion of an alkane in an oxygen deficient environment, the other product is water.
eg 2 C2H6 + 5 O2 = 6 H2O + 4 CO
If that combustion reaction was stoichiometrically balanced, CO2 would form instead
eg 2C2H6 + 7 O2 = 6 H2O + 4 CO2

Carbon Monoxide is a compound and not an element therefore it does not show up on the periodic table. However, each element does. Carbon Monoxide is comprised of C and O, CO. I'm not sure what you mean by is there anything else made by this rxn? please expound

Carbon Monoxide is 'CO' and is formed when a fuel is burned in insufficient Oxygen.
In the reaction, depending on the amount of Oxygen, Carbon (C) may form as soot. (The black deposit found in chimneys and if you hold a white paper over a candle flame, (not close enough to ignite it)).
Other products are Water Vapour (H2O) and, depending on the fuel and oxygen, Nitrogenous and Sulphurous compounds will also be formed in small amounts.

The formula for carbon monoxide (it is a compound not an element) is CO. Made of one atom of oxygen and one atom of carbon, joined with covalent bonds.
It is made by the incomplete combustion of carbon in air. Where there is not enough oxygen to completely oxidise the carbon and make carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide is produced instead.

CO
You can get it where any alkane is burnt imperfectly - normally an alkane burning should give CO2 and water. That's the result of a clean reaction. A dirtier one can release carbon monoxide, and all kinds of Phenyl molecules like Benzene.
