    10.4 moles of carbon dioxide

    Explanation:

    Equation of the reaction;

    C2H5OH (l) + 3O2 (g) ⟶2CO2 (g) + 3H2O (l)

    In solving questions on stoichiometry, we must first be armed with the balanced chemical reaction equation as this is the basis for all the calculations to be done.

    From the equation;

    1 mole of ethanol produced 2 moles of carbon dioxide

    Therefore, 5.2 moles of ethanol will produce 5.2 * 2/1 = 10.4 moles of carbon dioxide
