mc deltaTemp

add them together.

remember, ice, water, steam all have different specific heat capacities c.
q1 = heat to raise T solid H2O from -20 to ice at zero C.
q1 = mass H2O x specific heat ice x (Tf-Ti) where Tf = 0 and Ti = -20

q2 = heat to melt ice.
q2 = mass ice x heat fusion.

q3 = heat to raise T of liquid H2O from zero C to 100 C.
q3 = mass H2O x specific heat liquid H2O x (Tfinal-Tinitial) where Tf = 100 and Ti = 0.

q4 = heat to change liquid H2O at 100 C to steam at 100 C.
q4 = mass H2O x heat vaporization.

q5 = heat to raise steam from 100 C to 121 C.
q5 = mass steam x specific heat steam x (Tfinal-Tinitial) where Tf is 121 C and Ti is 100 C.

Total q = q1 + q2 + q3 + q4 + q5
