Carbon monoxide This molecule was first produced by the French Chemist de Lassone in 1776 by heating zinc oxide with coke. He mistakenly concluded that it was hydrogen because it burned with a blue flame. The gas was identified as a compound containing carbon and oxygen fourteen years later by William Cumberland Cruikshank. It can be used to make synthetic jet fuel and purifying Nickel through the Mond Process. |
