Answer: C₂H₅OH + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 3H₂O

Explanation:

To balance the equation we have to find a combination of coefficients for the species that make the number of each element on both sides of the equation equal.

C₂H₅OH + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 3H₂O

Checking to ensure the reactant and product sides of the equation are equal.
