Question

This molecule is the strongest of the spectrochemical series of ligands (15[1])(“LI-gndz”). Formic acid decomposes into this compound and water. This molecule is the heavier of the two components of synthesis gas, (15[1])which is found on the reactants side of the Fischer-Tropsch process. (15[1])The Mond process forms a complex of nickel and this molecule. Incomplete (*) combustion (10[1])creates this (10[1])molecule, (10[2])whose binding affinity (10[1])to hemoglobin (10[1])makes it (10[1])especially dangerous in garages, due to car exhaust. (-5[1])For 10 points, name this deadly colorless and odorless gas with formula CO. ■END■ (10[1])
