Don't I get partial credit for giving the first US communications satellite? I was thinking of it... but it was only worth 11 points. A couple more points and I would have given you partial. However, your answer was more complicated... sounds like me... I'd give you points but it wouldn't be fair to everyone else. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techgeekxp Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 (edited) I know there's a big difference, but it's just a prefix. And some carbon monoxide comes from burning fuel, but CO2 is mainly produced. Here's the chemistry: CxHx(l) + air(g) = CO2(g) + H2O(g) + N2(g) + O2(g) ONLY IF combustion is incomplete (I.E. at a temperature CxHx(l) + air(g) = CO2(g) + H2O(g) + N2(g) + O2(g) + CO(g) Edited June 22, 2005 by techgeekxp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
