Please Help? Chem Question

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-10-25] [Hit: ]
Ethanol, C2H6O this is the molecular formula, C2H5OH is the structural formula... the same thing.......
Ethanol, C2H6O, is added to gasoline to produce E85, a fuel for automobile engines. How many grams of 02 are required for the complete combustion of 421 g of ethanol?

And then it gives this equation: C2H5OH + 3O2 --> 2C02 +3H20

I don't even know where to begin.

They are being sneaky...Ethanol, C2H6O this is the molecular formula, C2H5OH is the structural formula... the same thing.
C2H5OH + 3O2 --> 2C02 +3H20 is your recipe
421 g of ethanol* 3 O2 (32g)/C2H5OH (46g) = 879g O2

3 O2 (32g)/C2H5OH (46g) is the mole ratio and the molar mass combined
