Combustion of Carbon Monoxide

2CO + O₂ → 2CO₂

Ikhtisar

Carbon monoxide burns in air with a characteristic blue flame to produce carbon dioxide. This reaction completes the oxidation of carbon that was left incomplete in the initial CO formation. CO combustion is important in blast furnaces and catalytic converters.
