    65 L is the volume of CO required

    Explanation:

    This is the reaction:

    2CO (g) + O₂ (g) → 2CO₂ (g)

    We must work with density to solve this problem

    Density = Mass / volume

    Let's determine the moles of O₂

    1.43 g/mL = mass / 32500 mL

    Notice, that we had to convert the volume from L, to mL, because the units of density.

    Mass of O₂ → 1.43 g/mL. 32500 mL = 46475 g

    Let's convert the mass to moles (mass / molar mas)

    46475 g / 32 g/mol = 1452.3 moles

    So ratio is 1:2

    1 mol of oxygen needs 2 moles of CO, to react

    Then, 1452.3 moles of O₂ would need the double of CO to react

    1452.3 moles. 2 = 2904.6 moles of CO

    This moles are contained in (mol. molar mass) =

    2904.6 mol. 28 g/mol = 81328.8 g

    Density of CO = Mass of CO / Volume of CO

    1.25 g/mL = 81328.8 g / Volume of CO

    81328.8 g / 1.25 g/mL = 65063 mL

    If we convert to L

    65063 mL = 65.0 L
