The coefficients in a balanced equation indicate how many MOLES of one thing will react with another. Because both of your reactants are gases, and because all gases behave the same way, the coefficients in the balanced equation also relate volumes of gases that react together. So, 2 liters of hydrogen will react with 1 liter of oxygen, assuming that all of the gases are at the same temperature and pressure.

So, 3.6 L of hydrogen will react with 1.8 L of oxygen.
