We want the enthalpy associated with the reaction.........

Explanation:

"H"_3"CCH"_2"OH"(l) +Delta rarr "H"_3"CCH"_2"OH"(g)

You have a mass of 50.0*g "EtOH", that is assumed to be at 78.3 ""^@C, and the enthalpy of vaporization is calculated by the product:

DeltaH_"vaporization"^@=(50.0*g)/(46.07*g*mol^-1)xx38.6*kJ*mol^-1=

=??*kJ.
