Answer:
22.9 Liters CO(g) needed
Explanation:
2CO(g) + O₂(g) => 2CO₂(g)
? Liters 32.65g
= 32.65g/32g/mol
= 1.02 moles O₂
Rxn ratio for CO to O₂ = 2 mole CO(g) to 1 mole O₂(g)
∴moles CO(g) needed = 2 x 1.02 moles CO(g) = 2.04 moles CO(g)
Conditions of standard equation* is STP (0°C & 1atm) => 1 mole any gas occupies 22.4 Liters.
∴Volume of CO(g) = 1.02mole x 22.4Liters/mole = 22.9 Liters CO(g) needed

*Standard Equation => molecular rxn balanced to smallest whole number ratio coefficients is assumed to be at STP conditions (0°C & 1atm).
Answer: when reactants and products are gases at STP.
Justification:
1) STP stands for standard temperature (0°) and pressure (1 atm).
2) According to the kinetic molecular theory of the gases, and as per Avogadro's principle, equal volumes of gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules.
3) Since the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation represent number of moles, when reactants and products are gases at the same temperature and pressure, the mole ratios are the same that the volume ratios, and then the coefficients of the chemical equation represent the volume ratios.
