You work this in stages.
Within a phase it is
q = mass x specific heat x (Tfinal-Tinitial). For example, for liquid water at zero C to boiling it will be
q = mass H2O x specific heat liquid H2O x (100-0).
Then at a phase change (from ice to liquid or from liquid to gas it is
q = mass x heat fusion (for solid) or heat vaporization (for liquid to gas).
Then add the parts to find the total.
How much heat energy, in kilojoules, is required to convert 63.0g of ice at −18.0 ∘C to water at 25.0 ∘C ?
