So, some of the CO2 became CO.
CO2+ C> 2CO
If you assume all the CO2 was converted, then the the added volume of .5 liters equals the new CO, minus the original CO2
2.5litersCO= xlitersCOoriainal+ 2(2-x)liters CO new.
2.5=x+4-2x if my algebra is right, so
-1.5=-x
or the original amount of CO was 1.5, or 3/4 of the original mixture was CO.
