Answer:

B 2:2

Step-by-step explanation:

Mole ratio is the comparison of the ratio of two compounds or elements in a chemical reaction. In a balanced equation, the moles of a particular compound or element is written as a coefficient. This means that mole ratio is the ratio of the coefficient of two substances in a reaction.

In this balanced chemical equation given as follows:

2CO + 02 → 2CO2

The number of moles/coefficient of carbon monoxide (CO) is 2 while that of carbon dioxide (CO2) is 2.

Hence, the mole ratio of CO to CO2 is 2:2
