A 45.0 mL45.0\,\text{mL} sample of liquid ethanol (density 0.789 g mL−10.789\,\text{g mL}^{-1}) is heated from 18.0 ∘C18.0\,^{\circ}\text{C} to 68.0 ∘C68.0\,^{\circ}\text{C}. Given the molar heat capacity of ethanol is 112 J mol−1 ∘C−1112\,\text{J mol}^{-1}\,^{\circ}\text{C}^{-1} and its molar mass is 46.1 g mol−146.1\,\text{g mol}^{-1}, calculate the heat absorbed by the ethanol in kilojoules.
