Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, nonirritant, odourless and tasteless toxic gas. It is produced by the incomplete combustion of carbonaceous fuels such as wood, petrol, coal, natural gas and kerosene. Its molecular weight is g/mol, melting point − °C, boiling point (at 760 mmHg) − °C (− °F), density kg/m3 at 0 °C and 1 atm and kg/m3 at 25 °C ...
