Conclusion:
Monarchies vary widely in their structures and powers, but all share the common feature of a single ruler holding supreme authority.
The role and significance of monarchies continue to evolve in response to changing societal and political contexts.
Understanding monarchies requires examining their historical development, institutional frameworks, and contemporary roles within
the broader context of governance and statecraft.
CARBON II OXIDE
Carbon monoxide is a colourless, extremely poisonous, odourless, tasteless, and flammable gas, which is slightly
less dense than air. Some of the most common names for carbon monoxide are carbonic oxide, carbon oxide,
water gas, flue gas, coal gas, etc.
Read on to learn more about its structure, properties, harmful effects, chemical reactions and uses.
Carbon Monoxide
When there is not enough oxygen or heat to make carbon dioxide during the partial combustion of carbon-
containing substances, carbon monoxide is most frequently produced. The incomplete burning of natural gases
such as gasoline, and kerosene oil can lead to the generation of carbon monoxide. The common sources of CO
production observed in daily life are faulty heaters, exhaust, fires, factory emissions, and even tobacco smoke.
Carbon monoxide is also found to be crucial for the creation of numerous chemicals, including medicines,
perfumes, and fuels. Carbon monoxide affects a number of processes that cause climate change when it is
released into the atmosphere.
Carbon Monoxide Structure
Carbon monoxide is the simplest member of the oxocarbon family. It consists of only two atoms, one carbon
atom, and another oxygen atom that consists of two π-bonds. In the structure of carbon monoxide, the carbon
atom is connected to an oxygen atom with a triple bond. In reality, a double bond between the two atoms is
formed by the mutual sharing of electrons resulting in the two π-bonds while the third bond is formed when the
oxygen atom donates a lone pair of electrons to the carbon for completing its octet and forms a σ bond. The
molecule is asymmetric with a non-zero dipole moment.
Properties of Carbon Monoxide
Physical Properties
o The molecular mass of carbon monoxide is 28.010 g/mol with a density of 789 kg/m^{3}.
o It is a colourless and odourless gas.
o The melting and boiling points of carbon monoxide are -205.02 oC (68.13 K) and -191.5 oC (81.6 K),
respectively.
o It is sparingly soluble in water. However, it is more soluble in chloroform, acetic acid, ethyl acetate,
ethanol, benzene, etc.
Chemical Properties
o It is a highly poisonous and flammable gas.
o High-temperature reactions between carbon monoxide and water vapour result in the production of
carbon dioxide and hydrogen; this method has been used to produce hydrogen that can be combined
with nitrogen to create ammonia.
o Carbon monoxide creates alkali formates with caustic alkalies, which can then be changed into either
formic acid or alkali oxalates to create oxalic acid.
o Carbon monoxide reacts with some metals to produce carbonyl compounds, many of which are
flammable; nickel has been purified via this reaction.
o The production of methanol begins with carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which are also used to create
olefin-derived aldehydes and alcohols as well as mixtures of liquid hydrocarbons appropriate for use as
fuels.
Sources of Carbon Monoxide
Cars, trucks, and other machinery that burns fossil fuels are the main emitters of CO in the outdoor air. The
quality of the air within the home can be impacted by a number of things, including gas stoves, unvented
kerosene and gas space heaters, leaking chimneys and furnaces, and other gas appliances. The automobile
exhaust from garages and even tobacco smoke generate an ample amount of carbon monoxide.
Carbon Monoxide Uses
Following are some of the uses of carbon monoxide.
o Carbon monoxide is one of the most significant industrial compounds. It is frequently utilized as a fuel in
industrial activities, either as producer gas or water gas.
o The gas also functions well as a reducing agent. For instance, heated iron oxides are reduced to metallic
iron when carbon monoxide is applied to them, while the carbon monoxide is oxidized to carbon dioxide
for extraction of iron.
Fe_{2}O_{3} + CO \longrightarrow 2Fe + 3CO_{2}
 o In order to stabilize and preserve the natural meat colour, carbon monoxide is currently employed in
small amounts in low oxygen modified atmosphere packaging systems (MAP) for fresh meat. This CO use
has been deemed generally regarded as safe (GRAS) in a number of packing scenarios involving fresh beef
products.
o It acts as an important ligand that forms carbonyl compounds with metals.
o Carbon monoxide is also used in the Fischer-Tropsch process to manufacture hydrocarbons and their
oxygen derivatives.
o It is used in high-powered infrared lasers as the lasing medium.
Harmful Effects of Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that comes up with several harmful effects on a living system as well as the
atmosphere.
o It binds to haemoglobin 200 times greater than the oxygen molecule in the blood which hampers the
ability of blood tcarry oxygen and results in carbon monoxide poisoning. Due to insufficient oxygen
transport to the brain, lethargy, headaches, disorientation, and dizziness result as the most frequent side
effects of CO exposure.
o The amount of greenhouse gases, which are associated with climate change and global warming, is
affected when carbon monoxide is released into the atmosphere. When CO interacts with OH radicals in
the atmosphere, OH reservoirs are depleted, making it harder to effectively control the primary emissions
of GHGs like methane

Preparation of carbon monoxide (CO) :

1. Carbon monoxide can be prepared by burning carbon with oxygen in limited supply of air.
2. It can also be prepared by reduction of metallic oxide with carbon ( i.e. coal or coke)
3. By passing steam over red hot coke.

Laboratory preparation of carbon monoxide(CO) gas :

Carbon monoxide gas can be prepared in lab by heating formic acid or oxalic acid with conc. H 2SO4.

Procedure: Small amount of oxalic acid crystal is taken in a round- bottomed flask and all the apparatus are fitted
as shown in figure. When conc. H 2SO4 is poured in the flask through thistle funnel and heated then a mixture of
CO and CO2 gas is formed. The mixture of gas is passed through a bottle containing NaOH solution where the
CO2 gas is absorbed by NaOH.
2NaOH + CO2 → Na2CO3 + H2O
The pure CO gas is then collected in a gas jar by downward displacement of water.

Physical properties :
It is colourless and poisonous gas (with faint smell).
It is lighter than air.
It is slightly soluble in water.

Chemical Properties of carbon monoxide(CO):

1. It is neutral to litmus.
2. Combustibility (Reaction with oxygen) : It is combustible but not a supporter of combustion. It burns in air to
form carbon dioxide.
3. Formation of addition products :
Action with hydrogen : When carbon monoxide gas is heated with hydrogen in presence of ZnO and Cu at 300 0C
then methanol is formed.
Action with NaOH ( caustic soda): When carbon monoxide is heated with sodium hydroxide then sodium
formate is formed.
{note: CO2 + NaOH → Na2CO3 + H2O}
Action with chlorine: Carbon monoxide reacts with chlorine in presence of sunlight to produce phosgene
( carbonyl chloride) which is a poisonous gas.
Action with sulphur : When a mixture of carbon monoxide and sulphur vapour is heated, then carbonyl sulphide
is formed.
CO + S → COS (carbonyl sulphide)
Action with ammonical cuprous chloride (solution) : When carbon monoxide gas is passed into ammonical
cuprous chloride solution, an addition product i.e. cuprous carbonyl chloride is obtained.
4. Reaction with transition metals ( i.e. Formation of carbonyl compound) :
Carbon monoxide reacts with transition metals like nickel, iron, cobalt, etc. under suitable conditions to form
addition compound called metal carbonyls.
Eg. When CO gas is passed into finely divided nickel at 800C, then nickel tetracarbonyl is formed.

Similarly.
{Carbonyl compound formation takes place due to presence of lone pair of electron in carbon atom of CO
molecule, i.e. a Lewis base}
5. Reducing character : Carbon monoxide acts as reducing agent.
It is used to reduce metallic oxide to metal in metallurgical process. Eg.
It can reduce iodine oxide to iodine
Reduction of Tollen’s reagent( i.e. ammonical silver nitrate solution) : It reduces Tollen’s reagent to metallic
silver.
Reduction of Fehling’s solution : {Basic copper sulphate solution in presence of sodium potassium tartarate is
called Fehling’s solution.} It reduces Fehling’s solution to red ppt. of cuprous oxide.

Uses of CO :

It is used as reducing agent in metallurgical process.

It is used to prepare carbonyl compounds.
It is used to prepare poisonous gas.

Carbon monoxide toxicity :

Q) Why carbon monoxide gas is extremely poisonous( toxic) ?
→ Carbon monoxide combines with haemoglobin to form carboxy haemoglobin. This makes haemoglobin unable
to carry oxygen from lungs to the different parts of the body and causes suffocation and even death. Thus CO gas
is highly toxic
