Converting 23.0 g of ice at -10.0 °C to steam at 109 °C requires 69.8 kJ of energy.

There are five heats to consider:

q1 = heat required to warm the ice to 0.00 °C.
q2 = heat required to melt the ice to water at 0.00 °C.
q3 = heat required to warm the water from 0.00 °C to 100.00 °C.
q4 = heat required to vapourize the water to vapour at 100 °C.
q5 = heat required to warm the vapour to 109 °C.

q1=mcΔT = 23.0 g × 2.108 J•°C⁻¹g⁻¹ × 10.0 °C = 484.84 J

q2=mΔHfus = 23.0 g × 334 J• g⁻¹ = 7682 J

q3=mcΔT = 23.0 g × 4.184 J°C⁻¹g⁻¹ × 100.00 °C = 9623.2 J

q4=mΔHvap = 23.0 g × 2260 J•g⁻¹ = 51 980 J

q5=mcΔT = 23.0 g ×2.01 J•g⁻¹ = 46.23 J

q1+q2+q3+q4+q5 =( 484.84 + 7682 + 9623.2 + 51 980 + 46.23) J = "69 816.27" J = 69.8 kJ (3 significant figures)
