Question:

What is the total heat needed to change 1g of water from -10°C to 110°C at 1 atm? \[ \Delta H_{fusion} = 80 \, \text{cal/g}, \Delta H_{vaporisation} = 540 \, \text{cal/g}, \text{specific heat of ice and steam are 0.5 cal/g°C} \]

Show Hint

Remember to account for the different phases (solid, liquid, gas) and use the appropriate heat of fusion or vaporisation.
