Verified answer
specific heat of water is 4.186 kJ/kgC
specific heat of ice is 2.06 kJ/kgC
specific heat of steam is 2.1 kJ/kgK
heat of fusion of ice is 334 kJ/kg
heat of vaporization of water is 2256 kJ/kg
steam at 100ºC ?
10.6 cm³ = 10.6e-6 m³ = 0.0106 kg
add up the numbers
to warm ice to 0º
E1 = 2.06 kJ/kgC x 0.0106 kg x 12C
to melt ice
E2 = 334 kJ/kg x 0.0106 kg
to heat water to 100º
E3 = 4.186 kJ/kgC x 0.0106 kg x 100C
to boil water
E4 = 2256 kJ/kg x 0.0106 kg
edit, corrected mistake.
