How much thermal energy is required to boil 4.11 kg of water at 100.0°C into steam at 132 °C? Properties of water you might find useful: density = 1000 kg / m , specific heat = 4186 J / (kg · °C), the latent heat of fusion = 3.33 x 105 J / kg, the latent heat of vaporisation = 2.26 x 106 J / kg, and the specific heat of steam = 2010 J / (kg · °C).
