Answer :
Answer:
At normal temperature and pressure (NTP), the reaction between oxygen and carbon monoxide to form carbon dioxide follows the balanced chemical equation:
\[ 2CO + O_2 \rightarrow 2CO_2 \]
This means that 2 volumes of carbon monoxide react with 1 volume of oxygen to produce 2 volumes of carbon dioxide.
Given that you have 1 L of oxygen reacting with 3 L of carbon monoxide, the reaction would consume all the oxygen and leave behind:
- **1 L** of carbon monoxide unreacted (since only 2 L would react with the available oxygen)
- **2 L** of carbon dioxide produced from the reaction
So, after the reaction, you would have **1 L** of CO and **2 L** of CO2.
