Does carbon monoxide burn?
Yes, carbon monoxide burns with a blue flame, producing carbon dioxide.
Does electric water heaters have carbon monoxide?
No, electric water heaters do not produce carbon monoxide because they do not burn fuel to generate heat.
Can a broken refrigerator release carbon monoxide?
No, a broken refrigerator cannot release carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is produced during the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels, such as gas or wood. Refrigerators do not burn fuel to operate, so they do not produce carbon monoxide.
What is an example of carbon monoxide?
A common example of carbon monoxide is the gas produced by cars, trucks, and other vehicles that burn fossil fuels. Carbon monoxide is also released by malfunctioning gas appliances in homes.
What is the chemical equation for an imperfect perfect burn?
An imperfect burn of a hydrocarbon like methane can produce carbon monoxide (CO) instead of carbon dioxide (CO2), due to insufficient oxygen. The chemical equation for an imperfect burn of methane is CH4 + O2 → CO + H2O.
