CO2 (carbon dioxide) can probably choke you if you breathe it in, that's why you SHOULD NEVER ever put a bag around your head, you will only have a few breathes of oxygen, then you start to breathe in carbon dioxide. CO is very very dangerous. If you keep breathing it in, it can kill you. DO NOT run a generator, car, barbeque inside of your house, those can cause CO poisoning. With CO (carbon monoxide) breathing it in can poison your blood, heart, and stop the brain from functioning properly. You breathe in oxygen so you can give oxygen poor blood, oxygen, so it can turn into oxygen rich blood. If there is wrong information in here, you are welcome to correct it. I hope i answered your question :)

ProfessorExposure to high levels of CO2 can cause symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and difficulty breathing, leading to unconsciousness or death in extreme cases. On the other hand, CO is toxic because it binds strongly to hemoglobin, reducing the blood's ability to carry oxygen, which can result in tissue damage and, if levels are high enough, can be fatal.

What are theses compounds CO2 CO CH4?
These compounds are all gases at room temperature. CO2 is carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas produced by combustion. CO is carbon monoxide, a toxic gas formed by incomplete combustion. CH4 is methane, a greenhouse gas emitted during natural gas production and livestock digestion.
How do carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide differ?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a toxic gas produced by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing materials, whereas carbon dioxide (CO2) is a naturally occurring gas that is part of the Earth's carbon cycle. CO is colorless and odorless, posing a significant health hazard, while CO2 is a greenhouse gas responsible for climate change.
What is the balanced equation for CO2 C CO?
The balanced equation for the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to carbon monoxide (CO) is: 2CO2 → 2CO + O2
What is the answer to the following Starting with 3.60 moles of CO calculate the number of moles of CO2 produced if there is enough oxygen gas to react with all of the CO?
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of CO with oxygen to form CO2 is: 2 CO + O2 -> 2 CO2. This means that 2 moles of CO produce 2 moles of CO2. Therefore, if you start with 3.60 moles of CO, it will produce 3.60 moles of CO2 when reacted with sufficient oxygen.
Explain what the products and reactants are in the following equation C plus CO2?
The reactants are carbon (C) and carbon dioxide (CO2). In this equation, carbon is reacting with carbon dioxide, but the correct form should be written as: C + CO2 -> CO
