    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)
