Chemistry

The combustion of liquid ethanol (c2H5OH) produces CarbonDioxide and water. After 4.62 mL of ethanol ( density= 0.789 g/mL)was allowed to burn in the presence of 15.55 g of Oxygen gas, 3.72mL of water (density=1.00 g/mL) was collected. Determine thelimiting reactant, theoretical yield of H20, and percent yield forthe reaction. (hint: write a balanced equation for the combustionfor the combustion of ethanol.)
