Solution

The reaction given is 2CO + O2 --> 2CO2. This is a balanced chemical equation, which means the number of molecules of each reactant (on the left side of the equation) that combine is in the correct ratio to the number of molecules of each product (on the right side of the equation) that are produced.

From the equation, we can see that two volumes of carbon monoxide (CO) react with one volume of oxygen (O2) to produce two volumes of carbon dioxide (CO2). This means the volume ratio of CO:O2:CO2 is 2:1:2.

If we want to produce 750 ml of CO2, we can use the volume ratio to find out how much of the other reactants we need.

Since the ratio of CO to CO2 is 2:2 (or 1:1), we need 750 ml of CO.

The ratio of O2 to CO2 is 1:2, so we need half the volume of O2 as CO2, which is 750/2 = 375 ml.

So, to produce 750 ml of CO2, we need 750 ml of CO and 375 ml of O2.
