The balanced chemical equation of the reaction described above is,

                            C2H6O + O2 --> H2O  + C2H4O2

If we have 3.84 g of oxygen, we divide by its molar mass.
 
                               n = (3.54 g Oxygen gas) x (1 mole O2/ 32 g O2)
                                 n = 0.11 moles O2

Using ratio and proportion,

               number of moles of ethanol = (0.11 moles O2) x (1 mole C2H6)
                                                  = 0.11 moles C2H6

Then, we multiply the calculated value to its molar mass, 46 grams /mol.
                    mass of ethanol = (0.11 mol) x (46 grams / mol)
                                                = <em>5.06 grams</em>
