I metric tonne is 1,000 kg = 1 x!0 E6 grams of CO2.
Divide by the molecular mass of 44 g / mole to get the number of moles of CO2.
Each mole occupies 22.4 Liters at STP. So multiply by the number of moles and you are done.

C (12), 0 (16), 0 (16) = 44g per mole.
1000/44 = 22.7272 moles of CO2 in a tonne.
1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 litres.
So the volume of 1 tonne of gaseous CO2 is 22.7272. times 22.4.
5090.9 litres.

Air Density at STP = 1.2 kg/m³
CO2 is 1.5 times the density of air.
CO2 Density = 1.2 x 1.5 = 1.8kg/m³
1 tonne CO2 therefore = 1.8kg/m³

pV = nRT
V=10^6*8.314*T/[101358*144]
V = 0.570T [m^3]
assuming T=298K
V = 170m^3
