You need to write the balanced equations for those reactions.

I'll give you the equations, now, you balance them.

CH_3CH_2OH + O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + H_2O

CH_3OH + O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + H_2O

CH_3OCH_3 + O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + H_2O

Remember that during complete combustion, all the hydrocarbon is converted into carbon dioxide and water.

When you balanced them, find the number of moles of water one mole of each would give, using the balanced equations.

post your answer! :)
