    88 grams of CO₂ are produced in this combustion.

    Explanation:

    The reaction for this combustion is:

    C₂H₆O (l) + 3O₂ (g) → 2CO₂ (g) + 3H₂O (l)

    Let's calculate the moles

    Moles = mass / molar mass

    Moles Ethanol = 46 g / 46 g/m = 1 mol

    Moles O₂ = 96 g / 32 g/m = 3 moles

    Both quantity are the same for both reactant, so the moles produced of products are the same as stoichiometry.

    There is also no reactant in excess, either limiting reactant.

    We have 2 moles of CO₂ produced.

    Mass = Molar mass. Moles

    Mass = 44 g/m. 2 m = 88 g
