Well Carbon monoxide oxygen most likely looks like this CO O2 and Carbon Dioxide is CO2 so if you put a 2 in front of CO and CO2 then your equation becomes balanced and looks like this 2CO + O2 --> 2CO2 Each side has 2 carbon and 4 oxygen.

first balance carbon, then hydrogen ... last oxygen
C6H12O2 + O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O --- notice oxygen on right adds to 18, but on left 2 are in the first compound, so pure oxygen must account for 16 ... use 8 as coefficient
C6H12O2 + 8O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O

What coefficients must be used to balance the following decomposition reaction?
It is balanced. 1...2...1...2
How do the coefficients in a balanced equation compare quantites of two substances?
These coefficients show the number of molecules involved in the chemical reaction.
What information about a chemical reaction is derived from the coefficients in a balanced equation?
Coefficients are used to represent multiple molecules of formula units.
What is the importance of coefficients in a balanced chemical equation?
Coefficients are imortant in a balanced chemical reaction, because it shows you how much of that chemical is reactanting, and also how much is being produce to form the products.
How does the coefficients a balanced equation compare quantities of two substances?
In a balanced equation, the coefficients show the mole ratio of the different substances. That is, it shows how each substance taking part in the reaction is related on a mole to mole basis.
