    This can be done in the following way;

    1 determining the heat required to convert 0° C ice to 0°C water

    Heat of fusion of water = 334 J/g

    Therefore; Heat = 50 g * 334 J/g = 16700 J

    2. Determining the heat required to raise the temperature of water from 0° C to 100°C.

    Specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g°C

    Change in temperature is 100°C

    Therefore; Heat = 50 g * 4.18 J/g°C * 100 = 20900 J

    3. Determining the heat required to convert 100 ° C water to 100°C vapor

    Heat of vaporization of water = 2257 J/g

    Heat = Mass of water * heat of vaporization

    Heat = 50 g * 2257 = 112850 J

    4. Determining the heat required to go from 100° C to 120° vapor

    specific heat of vapor = 2.09 J/g°C

    Heat = mass * Specific heat of vapor * change in temperature

    = 50 g * 2.09 * (120-100) = 2090 J

    Therefore the total heat required is

    = 16700 J + 20900 J + 112850 J + 2090 J = 152540 J or 152.54 kJ
