Answer:

19,700 Joules

Explanation:

Quantity of heat (Q) = mc(T2-T1)

m (mass of ethanol) = 183g

c (specific heat capacity of ethanol) = 2.44J/g°C

T2 (boiling temperature of ethanol) = 78°C

T1 (initial temperature of ethanol) = 33.9°C

Q = 183×2.44(78 - 33.9) = 183×2.44×44.1 = 19691.532 = 19,700 Joules (to three significant digits)
