5.10 I can recall the problems associated with incomplete combustion

What are the properties of carbon monoxide
 It is colourless, odourless, tasteless and invincible to all human senses

Explain how carbon monoxide is formed
It is formed by having insufficient amount of oxygen in combustion process


Fuel + INSUFFICIENT OXYGEN -------> CO             +  H20       +   Energy
                                                   Carbon monoxide    Water

Explain why carbon monoxide is poisonous
Carbon Monoxide sticks to the haemoglobin faster than the oxygen causing not enough oxygen is carried
in the red blood cells causing poisoning that eventually can cause death due to insufficient amount of
oxygen.
