Just construct the chemical equation.Knowing that a molecule of ethanol has 2 carbon atoms, 2 molecules of carbon dioxide are produced.So the mol ratio of ethanol and CO2 is 1:2 ,so 10 mols of CO2 is produced.Of course this is under the assumption that it is burnt completely.If It is not burnt completely then thats a different story.
