Answer is: product of chemical reaction would be carbon dioxide.

Balanced chemical reaction: 2CO (g) + O₂ (g) → 2CO2 (g).

There are same number of atoms of on both side of balanced chemical reaction: four oxygen atoms and two carbon atoms.

Carbon change oxidation number from + 2 to + 4 and oxygen from 0 to - 2.
