5.10 I can recall the problems associated with incomplete combustion

What are the properties of carbon monoxide?
Odorless, colourless ,toxic gas


 Explain how carbon monoxide is formed.. Carbon monoxide is formed when there is an inefficient amount of oxygen/ lack of oxygen and incomplete combustion takes place


  Explain why carbon monoxide is poisonous.. "Carbon monoxide binds very strongly to the iron atoms in hemoglobin, the principal oxygen-carrying compound in blood. The affinity between CO and hemoglobin is much stronger than the affinity between hemoglobin and oxygen. When CO binds to the hemoglobin it cannot be released nearly as readily as oxygen would be" therefore the blood oxygen will not get carried around the body and the body will eventually collapse at the lack of oxygen
