How much heat (in kJ) is required to warm 13.0 g of ice?

How much heat (in kJ) is required to warm 13.0 g of ice, initially at -14.0 ∘C, to steam at 109.0 ∘C? The heat capacity of ice is 2.09 J/g⋅∘C and that of steam is 2.01 J/g⋅∘C.

    In order to answer this question you also need to know three additional constants for various kinds of heat transfer in water. The source below gives them all.

    (2.09 J/g⋅∘C) x (13.0 g) x (0 - (-14.0)) ∘C = 380.38 J to warm the ice to its melting point

    (333.6 J/g) x (13.0 g) = 4336.8 J to melt the ice

    (4.184 J/g·°C) x (13.0 g) x (100 - 0) ∘C = 5439.2 J to warm the melted ice to its boiling point

    (2257 J/g) x (13.0 g) = 29341 J to vaporize the water

    (2.01 J/g⋅∘C) x (13.0 g) x (109.0 - 100) ∘C = 235.17 J to heat the steam to 109.0 ∘C

    380.38 J + 4336.8 J + 5439.2 J + 29341 J + 235.17 J = 39733 J = 39.7 kJ total
