Ethanol, C2H5OH, is responsible for the effects of intoxication felt after drinking alcoholic beverages. When ethanol burns in oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water are produced.

(a) Write a balanced equation for the reaction.

(b) How many liters of ethanol (d = 0.789 g/cm3) will produce 1.25 L of water (d = 1.00 g/cm3)?

(c) A wine cooler contains 4.5% ethanol by mass. Assuming that only the alcohol burns in oxygen, how many grams of wine cooler need to be burned to produce 3.12 L of CO2 (d = 1.80 g/L at 25°C, 1 atm pressure) at the conditions given for the density?
