Gasohol is a mixture of gasoline and ethanol (grain alcohol), \( \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH} \). Calculate the maximum work that could be obtained at \( 25^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \) and 1 atm by burning \( 2 \mathrm{~mol} \) of \( \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH} \). \[ \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}(\mathrm{I})+3 \mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{CO}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g}) \]
