Given the equation H2O (l) → H2O (g) △Hrxn = 40.7 kJ at 100degreesC?

Given the equation

H2O (l) → H2O (g) △Hrxn = 40.7 kJ at 100degreesC

Calculate the mass of liquid water (in grams) at 100oC that can converted to vapor by absorbing 2.400 kJ of heat.

how would i go about solving this?

thanks for the help.

    find moles:

    2.400 kJ @ 40.7 kJ/mole = 0.05897 moles of water

    find grams, using molar mass:

    0.05897 moles of water @ 18.015 g/mol =

    your answer is:

    1.06 grams of water

    ==========================

    unless "2.400 kJ of heat."

    was supposed to be 2,400 kJ of heat.

    in which case your answer would be 1060 grams of water
