Which sample of ethanol has particles with the highest average kinetic energy?

The second one.
Remember, temperature is the AVERAGE kinetic energy. So, looking for highest average kinetic energy means looking for highest temperature, which is 55.
Note: the amount of the substance does not determine the average kinetic energy.

The answer is two. All you are looking for with highest average kinetic energy is the one with the highest temperature. In this case it is 10mL ethanol at 55 degrees Celsius.

Answer:

$C_2H_6O$

Explanation:

The first step is the calculation of the moles of $H_2O$ and $CO_2$ , so:

$114.6~g~CO_2\frac{1~mol~CO_2}{44~g~CO_2}=2.6~mol~of~CO_2$

$70.44~g~H_2O\frac{1~mol~H_2O}{18~g~H_2O}=~3.9~mol~H_2O$

Now, in 1 mol of CO2 we have 1 mol of C and in 1 mol of $H_2O$ we have 1 mol of H. Additionally, if we want to calculate the moles of oxygen we need to calculate the grams of C and O and then do the substraction form the initial amount, so:

$2.6~mol~CO_2\frac{1~mol~C}{1~mol~CO_2}\frac{12~g~C}{1~mol~C}=31.25~g~of~C$
