The reaction is:
2 CO + O2 = 2 CO2
Incomplete combustion involves the generation of carbon monoxide in addition to carbon dioxide and water generated in complete combustion. Carbon monoxide is highly toxic. While carbon dioxide is produced by the body itself and can only kill if at a very high concentration (7% to 10% of air by volume) or by depriving the victim of oxygen for prolonged periods of time, carbon monoxide is not a physiological gas and can kill at low concentrations (0.32% of air by volume) and in a relatively short amount of time (less than 30 minutes). The toxicity of carbon monoxide is believed to be involved in compromising the ability of hemoglobin and myoglobin to transfer and store oxygen and disabling cellular respiration through blocking cytochrome oxidase.

No. All gases do not have a definite volume when in gas state.
it is used for cutting metals ( example with a proper mixture by regulators you use a cutting torch) +++ The mixture as such is just oxygen and acetylene, but acetylene is highly flammable and when additional oxygen is introduced, the flame is hot enough to melt steel to weld it. ' For cutting, the metal is first brought to melting-point or nearly so by the gas flame, then excess oxygen is added to burn rather than melt the iron itself, with the gas flame maintaining the heat input and temperature. The oxy-gas cutting torch differs from the welding torch by a different type of nozzle and having a trigger on its side to operate the cutting-oxygen valve.

okay.. you have to plug in the calculations
Volume-volume promblems
1/2 liter of carbon dioxide
If the gases have the same molar volume, the stoichiometric ratio would be one to one. Molar volume is the volume occupied by one mole of a substance. This indicates that there is a 1:1 molar ratio of each gas.
Auto emits carbon monoxide(CO), carbon dioxide(CO2) and some other gases and particles which pollute the environment. the amount of CO2 compared to total amount of emission in percentage is called as percent of carbon dioxide in auto emissions. %CO2=(Volume of CO2 emitted/Total volume of emission)*100
Honda CVCC engines have normal inlet and exhaust valves, plus a small auxiliary inlet valve which provides a relatively rich air / fuel mixture to a volume near the spark plug. The remaining air / fuel charge, drawn into the cylinder through the main inlet valve is leaner than normal. The volume near the spark plug is contained by a small perforated metal plate. Upon ignition flame fronts emerge from the perforations and ignite the remainder of the air / fuel charge. The remaining engine cycle is as per a standard four stroke engine. This combination of a rich mixture near the spark plug, and a lean mixture in the cylinder allowed stable running, yet complete combustion of fuel, thus reducing CO (carbon monoxide) and hydrocarbon emissions.As due to incomplete combustion the emission increases
The compression ratio of an internal-combustion engine, or an IC engine as it is more commonly called, is the ratio of the volume the highest capacity of the combustion chamber to its lowest capacity. In the IC engine, the piston makes a stroke, resulting in the compression of the air in the combustion chamber - the ratio between the volume of the cylinder and combustion chamber when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke, and the volume of the combustion chamber when the piston is at the top of its stroke, is the compression ratio.
I believe there are more than one, but the burning of fossil fuels is generally associated with the release of carbon dioxide (or co2). This plays a significant role in global warming. Hope I helped and for more info please google "global warming", "fossil fuels", "carbon dioxide", or your original question. Best wishes!! :)

I'm guessing you mean high carbon to steam ratio. that gives rise to a proportionately greater volume of carbon monoxide being evolved. if there is a lot of steam and only some carbon, you normally get the more stable CO2 but with insufficient steam, the less stable CO is evolved, ALONG WITH some CO2. =]
Using the ideal gas law - the volume of a gas is independent of it composition and is determined solely by the equation PV=nRT. As one mole of CO would produce one mole of CO2 it would take 541 mL of CO to produce 541 mL of CO2.
