It will be seen from this table that a pound of carbon will unite with
2-2/3 pounds of oxygen to form carbon dioxide, and will evolve 14,600
B. t. u. As an intermediate step, a pound of carbon may unite with 1-1/3
pounds of oxygen to form carbon monoxide and evolve 4450 B. t. u., but
in its further conversion to CO_{2} it would unite with an additional
1-1/3 times its weight of oxygen and evolve the remaining 10,150
B. t. u. When a pound of CO burns to CO_{2}, however, only 4350 B. t. u.
are evolved since the pound of CO contains but 3/
