please tell me if this is set up right (275g)(4.184J/1 g Degree C)(85Degrees C)
You have half of it right. The other half you have ignored.
q1 = heat needed to raise T of water from 15C to 100 C is what you have calculated.
q2 = heat needed to change T of water at 100 C to steam at 100 C.
That is q2 = mass H2O x heat vaporization.
