greg1917 Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 A good one is oxygen - if converted into ozone (thats O3 instead of O2) it becomes quite toxic to in inhale for humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hades Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 an easy one, the incomplete combustion of CO2 in an engine gives off CO, a very harmful gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemistry Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Try looking up HCN. Reactions with CN anion and a acidic substance is performed within a ventilated hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YT2095 Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Nitro Glycerine would be the obvious one, change it`s chemical or physical state and you have a whole heap of trouble on your plate you may also try a mix of Hydrogen and Chlorine, it`s perfectly safe as a mixed gas if kept in the dark, any sunlight (UV rays) and it will react quite violently. there are many more such reactions, but here`s another 2 for you to work on {edit} I hit the wrong key so had to come back and finish the post DOH!
