Question

Find a scenario in which carbon monoxide was produced by the combustion of a fuel.
Why was Carbon monoxide produced instead of carbon dioxide?

Answer 1

Answer:

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless gas formed by the incomplete combustion of fuels. When people are exposed to CO gas, the CO molecules will displace the oxygen in their bodies and lead to poisoning.

produced by other fuel types

Denser hydrocarbon fuels, such as diesel, contain more carbon and will therefore produce more CO2 for a given volume of fuel.
