At STP, the volume of a gas represents the number of particles.That said, from the chemical reaction one mole of oxygen reacts with two moles of co to produce the product, CO2At STP, 3 moles of Oxygen will produce 6 moles of CO2. Hence It follows that at standard temperature and pressure, 6.0 L of CO2 will be produced. Option D.
