The reaction is :- C2H5OH + 3O2--- 2CO2 + 3H2O
When flame is applied to ethanol (C2H5OH), it undergoes combustion, a chemical reaction where it reacts with oxygen (O2) in the air to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and heat. The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of ethanol is: C2H5OH + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O In this reaction, the ethanol molecule breaks apart, and its carbon and hydrogen atoms combine with oxygen atoms from the air to form carbon dioxide and water vapor, respectively. This reaction releases a significant amount of heat energy, which is why ethanol is used as a fuel in alcohol burners, stoves, and engines. When you observe a flame applied to ethanol, you will see a blue-colored flame, indicating complete combustion. The heat produced by the combustion of ethanol can be used for various purposes, such as heating, cooking, or powering engines.
Combustion of ethanol with oxygen: C2H5OH + 3 O2 --> 2 CO2 + 3 H2O + 'Heat'
-1277.36kJ is the heat of combustion of ethanol. It is not the heat of fermentation for the production of ethanol.
carbon dioxide and water
There are two angles to this question: 1. If your ethanol is contaminated with water it will reduced the amount of useful heat generated since the water will boil off while the ethanol is burning. 2. The water generated as a result of combustion is included as a term in the calculation of heat of combustion.
All types of combustions are exothermic.
The complete combustion of ethanol in oxygen proceeds according to the balanced equation C2H6O + 3 O2 -> 2 CO2 + 3 H2O.

While not as a chart, this is an idea about combustion energy values: Ethanol 77,000 Btu per gallon, Gasoline 125,000 Btu per gallon, Diesel 135,000 Btu per gallon and Biodiesel 130,000 Btu per gallon. Grades of fuel imply differences in composition and thus differences in combustion Btu values. Combustion values for ethanol will not depend on source of ethanol as long as ethanol content/composition is the same. Ali Hamza A_Hamza@yahoo.com
The question is not clear , if it is for the combustion of ethanol then 25litre of oxygen is in large excess for 25 ml of ethanol.
