Carbon monoxide combustion pollutant

Question 1

carbon monoxide
CO is a toxic and ………..gas which can cause …………

Answer 1

odourless gas which can cause dizziness, loss of consciousness and eventually death

Question 2

How does carbon monoxide affect blood and organs

Answer 2

The CO binds well to haemoglobin which therefore cannot bind oxygen and carbon dioxide

Oxygen is transported to organs

Carbon dioxide is removed as waste material from organs

Question 3

How is it produced

Answer 3

carbon doesn’t get fully combusted

Question 4

The high affinity of CO to haemoglobin prevents it from binding to O2 and CO2

Question 5

catalytic removal of carbon monoxide is

Answer 5

oxidation to c02- 2CO +O2 = 2CO2

OR

2CO +2NO = 2CO2 +N2

use of rhodium catalyst
