Solution

To calculate the thermal energy transferred to the water to turn it into steam, we use the equation:

thermal energy for a change of state = mass × specific latent heat

Here, the mass of the water is 0.063 kg and the specific latent heat of vaporisation of water is 2,260,000 J/kg.

So, substituting these values into the equation, we get:

Energy = 0.063 kg × 2,260,000 J/kg

Now, we just need to multiply these two values together to get the energy.

Energy = 142,380 J

So, the thermal energy transferred to the water to turn it into steam is 142,380 Joules.
