The total volume of the mixture = 1 L
Let the volume of CO in the mixture = x L
The volume of CO2 in the mixture = (1- x) L
On passing mixture through a tube containing red hot charcoal. CO2 is completely reduced to CO.
Thus, the product obtained is only CO (ie, 1.6 L)
Thus, the volume of CO in mixture = 0.4 L
The volume of CO2 in mixture = (1 - 0.4) L = 0.6 L
