Which of the following is not correct about carbon monoxide?
It is produced due to incomplete combustion.
it forms carboxyhemoglobin
It reduces the oxygen-carrying ability of blood
The carboxyhemoglobin (hemoglobin bound to CO is less stable than oxyhemoglobin).
Carbon monoxide is formed by incomplete combustion of carbon.
carbon monoxide forms a complex with hemoglobin which is much stronger than oxygen-hemoglobin, also carbon monoxide can substitute oxygen and reduce oxygen carrying blood.
Carbon monoxide binds with Hb to form a 300 times more stable compound than the oxyhemoglobin complex.
Therefore, Option(4) is correct.
