Explanation:

Step1: Write unbalanced equation with phases

Gaseous CO reacts with gaseous O₂ to form gaseous CO₂:
$\text{CO}(g) + \text{O}_2(g)
ightarrow \text{CO}_2(g)$

Step2: Balance the equation

Balance C first (already balanced: 1 on each side). Balance O: 2 O on left (1 from CO + 1 from O₂) vs 2 on right. Multiply CO and CO₂ by 2:
$2\text{CO}(g) + \text{O}_2(g)
ightarrow 2\text{CO}_2(g)$

Answer:

$2\text{CO}(g) + \text{O}_2(g)
ightarrow 2\text{CO}_2(g)$
