A mixture of one volume of gas and two volumes of oxygen, on explosion form two volumes of `CO_(2)` and one volume of `N_(2)` under the identical conditions of temperature and pressure. Find the formula of the gas.

Explanation

To find the formula of the gas in the given problem, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the Reaction
We have a mixture of one volume of an unknown gas (let's denote it as CxNy) and two volumes of oxygen (O2). Upon explosion, this mixture produces two volumes of carbon dioxide (CO2) and one volume of nitrogen (N2).

### Step 2: Write the Balanced Reaction
The general reaction can be represented as:
\[ C_xN_y + O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + N_2 \]
