CAUSE COOLED CAN BE
SUFFOCATION TURNED TO SOLID
CALLED DRY ICE
Test for Carbon dioxide

Extinguishes the burning splinter

Turns lime water milky.
 Used to make aerated drinks such as soda. How?
 Used to extinguish fire. Why?
 Solid carbon dioxide is a good refrigerant. Why?
 Used to make chemicals such as washing soda and baking soda.
 Makes cakes and breads soft and spongy. How?
 Used to make fertilizers such as urea.
 Used by plants during photosynthesis. Explain its necessity.
 Formation of carbon monoxide

 Incomplete combustion of coal

2C + O2  2CO
 When carbon dioxide is passed over
red hot charcoal
CO2 + C  2CO
Physical properties of carbon monoxide

HIGHLY POISONOUS. IF CO IN
COLOURLESS AND THE INHALED AIR INCREASES
ODOURLESS GAS. BY 1% OR MORE, IT CAN
RESULT IN DEATH.

IT IS SPARINGLY SOLUBLE IN
IT IS LIGHTER THAN AIR.
WATER.
Harmful effects of carbon
monoxide poisoning
 Symptoms

 Early symptoms- Headaches,

nausea and fatigue.
 Excess of carbon monoxide in
the blood may lead to
suffocation (asphyxia)
followed by brain damages
and eventually causes death
 CAUSES

 Sleeping in a closed room with

burning charcoal, coal or coke.
 Starting a car engine in a closed
garage.
 Standing behind a running engine
of a vehicle.
 Remedies

 Person suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning

should immediately be brought outdoors.
 Artificial respiration with carbogen should be given
to the person feeling suffocated due to carbon
monoxide poisoning to restore normal breathing.
 A person at a place with a high concentration of
carbon monoxide should wear a gas mask. Such
masks carbon monoxide and oxidise it to carbon
dioxide.
