If carbon monoxide reaches a temperature of over 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit, it will ignite in a combustion reaction with oxygen. What would the product(s) of the reaction be?
Answer is: product of chemical reaction would be carbon dioxide. Balanced chemical reaction: 2CO(g) + O₂(g) → 2CO2(g). There are same number of atoms of on both side of balanced chemical reaction: four oxygen atoms and two carbon atoms. Carbon change oxidation number from +2 to +4 and oxygen from 0 to -2.
