A certain alcoholic beverage contains only ethanol (C2H6O) and water. When a sample of this beverage undergoes combustion, the ethanol burns but the water simply evaporates and is collected along with the water produced by combustion. The combustion reaction is:
C2H6O (l) + 3O2 (g) ->2CO2 (g) + 3H2O (g).

When a 10.53g sample of this beverage is burned, 11.45g of water is collected, what is the mass in grams of ethanol in the original sample? What is the mass in grams of water in the original sample?
