The reaction equation is
`underset(2"vol")(2CO)+underset(1"vol")(O_(2)) to underset(2"vol")(2CO_(2))`
`"1 vol of" O_(2) "reacts with 2 vol. of CO"`
or `"1 litre of" O_(2) "reacts with 2 vol. of CO"`
`"Thus 1 litre of CO remains unchanged"`
`"1 vol. of" O_(2) "produces" CO_(2)=2"vol"`
`or "1 litre of" O_(2) "will produce" CO_(2)="2litre"`
Thus, gaseous mixture after the reaction consists.
Volume of CO=1litre
Volume of `CO_(2)`=2 litre
