Preparation of Carbon Monoxide(Laboratory Methods):

1. When Methanoic(Formic)acid is heated gently with concentrated Sulphuric acid, Carbon monoxide and water are formed:

HCOOH →CO + H2O

         

Time Taken:00:00

2.When Oxalic acid is heated with concentrated Sulphuric acid, Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide and water are formed. Carbon dioxide is removed by passing the gases through concentrated Potassium hydroxide solution:

H2C2O4CO2 + CO + H2O

         

Time Taken:00:00

CO2 + KOH →K2CO3 + H2O

         

Time Taken:00:00

3.When Carbon dioxide gas is passed over red hot coke(Carbon), Carbon monoxide gas is formed:

CO2 + C → CO

         

Time Taken:00:00

Reactions of Carbon monoxide:

1. Carbon monoxide gas burns in Oxygen with a blue flame to form carbon dioxide gas:

CO + O2CO2

         

Time Taken:00:00

2.When a mixture of Carbon monoxide and steam is passed over Iron(III) oxide(catalyst) at 450oC,Carbon dioxide and Hydrogen are formed.

CO + H2O →CO2 + H2

         

Time Taken:00:00

3. In the presence of sunlight, Carbon monoxide reacts with Chlorine gas to form Phosgene(carbonyl Chloride):

CO + Cl2COCl2

         

Time Taken:00:00

4. Carbon monoxide reacts with heated yellow Zinc oxide to form grey Zinc metal and Carbon dioxide:

CO + ZnO →Zn+ CO2

         

Time Taken:00:00

5. Carbon monoxide reacts with heated brown Iron(III) oxide to form greyish black Iron metal and Carbon dioxide:

CO + Fe2O3Fe+ CO2

         

Time Taken:00:00

6. Carbon monoxide reacts with heated orange Lead(II) oxide to form grey Lead metal and Carbon dioxide:

CO + PbO →Pb+ CO2

         

Time Taken:00:00

7. Carbon monoxide reacts with heated black Copper(II) oxide to form brown Copper metal and Carbon dioxide:

CO + CuO →Cu+ CO2

         

Time Taken:00:00
