The final volume of the Oxygen O2 would simply be equivalent to the overall volume of the final mixture. This is because gases would occupy every space of its container. So in this case, the volume of CO2 and O2 would be the same and it would be 30 L. What would be different is the partial pressures of each.

Answer:

30 L
