Formation of Carbon Monoxide

2C + O2 → 2CO

概述

When carbon burns in a limited supply of oxygen, carbon monoxide is produced instead of carbon dioxide. This incomplete combustion reaction is dangerous because carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, and highly toxic gas that binds to hemoglobin more strongly than oxygen.
