Question

People can die when they inhale gases from burning charcoal in poorly ventilated rooms. Which compound is formed in the human body that lead to such deaths?

Answer 1

Answer:

carbon monoxide

Explanation:

when carbon monoxide mixes/reacts with haemoglobin in our body it forms carboxy haemoglobin which causes death

Answer 2

People can die when they inhale gases from burning charcoal in a poorly ventilated room. The name of the compound that forms in the human body that leads to such deaths is carbon monoxide gas.

• Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous and toxic gas that when produced in the body of human beings leads to toxic effects, which might result in death.
• When a person breathes in this harmful gas, carbon monoxide gets into the body and displaces a high amount of oxygen in the blood of the person.
• This action affects the body adversely since major regions of the heart, and brain along with other organs do not receive oxygen.
• Inhaling a high quantity of carbon monoxide causes a person to feel suffocated and thus, die.

Hence, when charcoal is burnt in a poorly ventilated room, carbon monoxide gas is formed which leads to the death of human beings.
