"fast response and correct"
Response Details:

  Given that

 The volume of ethanol = 155 mL
        Diensity of ethanol = 0.7849 g/mL
  Enthalpy of vaporization of the alcohol at 25 oC =  42.32 kJ/mol.
     CH3CH2OH (MW = 46.07g/mol)
     The mass of ethanol = volume * density
                                    =  155 mL * 0.7849 g/mL
                                    = 121.66 g
   The number of moles of ethanol = mass of ethanol / molar mass of ethanol
                                                   = 121.66 g / 46.07 g/mol
                                                   = 2.64 mol
  Quantity of heat energy is required to evaporate 155 mL of the alcohol at 25oC =  Enthalpy of vaporization * number of moles of ethanol
                                                                                                                          =  (42.32 kJ/mol.)*2.64 mol
                                                                                                                          = 111.76 kJ
