    c = 540 C/g = 2260 J/g

    45.2*540 = 24,408 Calories

    45.2*2260 = 102.152 kJ

    you need to calculate the energy it takes for the phase change from H2O(g) -> H2O(l) to occur which is just (moles)x(KJ/mol factor) Then you do normal thermodynamic calculations for H2O(l) going from 100C to 0C and then you need to calculate the energy it takes for the phase change H2O(l) -> H2O(s) to occur which is the same type of equation as before but with a new value for the (KJ/mol) factor.
