Gas Introduction
Carbon monoxide is a carbon oxide compound with the chemical formula CO and a molecular weight of 28.0101. It is typically a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas. In terms of physical properties, carbon monoxide has a melting point of -205 ℃ and a boiling point of -191.5 ℃. It is difficult to dissolve in water (with a solubility of 0.002838g at 20 ℃) and is not easily liquefied or solidified. In terms of chemical properties, carbon monoxide has both reducing and oxidizing properties, and can undergo oxidation reactions (combustion reactions), dismutation reactions, etc; Simultaneously toxic, at higher concentrations, it can cause varying degrees of poisoning symptoms in humans, endangering the brain, heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, and other tissues of the human body, and even leading to electrocution like death. The lowest lethal concentration for human inhalation is 5000ppm (5 minutes). In industry, carbon monoxide is the basis of one carbon chemistry and can be produced by methods such as coke oxygen method. It is mainly used for the production of methanol, phosgene, and organic synthesis.
