Answer:

Q = 5254.39 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of ethanol, m = 68.8 g

The temperature increases from 40.0°C to 71.3°C.

The specific heat of ethanol is 2.44 j/g°C

We need to find the heat absorbed by the ethanol. We know that the heat absorbed due to the change in temperature is given by :


Q=mc\Delta T

Put all the values,


Q=68.8* 2.44* (71.3-40)\\\\Q=5254.39\ J

So, 5254.39 J of heat is absorbed by Ethanol.
