Part A A patient arrives in the emergency room with a burn

Part A A patient arrives in the emergency room with a burn caused by steam. Calculate the heat that is released when 10.7 g of steam at 100. °C hits the skin, condenses, and cools to body temperature of 37.0 °C. (For water, 540 cal (2260 J) is needed to convert 1 g of water to vapor at 100 °C.) Express the heat to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
