The mole ratio of CO to CO2 in the given chemical equation is 3:3, which can be simplified to 1:1. This means that for every 3 moles of CO that react, 3 moles of CO2 are produced. Alternatively, we can say that the stoichiometric coefficient of CO is equal to that of CO2, which is 3 and 3, respectively.
