The easiest way to do this is in parts. It's easier to understand.
q1 = heat to move steam from 216 to 100.
q1 = mass steam x specific heat steam x delta T.
q2 = heat to condense steam at 100 C to liquid water at 100 C.
q2 = mass steam x heat vaporization
q3 = heat to move liquid water from 100 C to 0 C.
q3 = mass x specific heat water x delta T.
q4 = heat to freeze liquid water at 0 C to ice at 0 C.
q4 = mass water x heat fusion.
q5 = heat to move ice from 0 C to -50 C.
q5 = mass x specific heat ice x delta T.
total heat evolved = q1 + q2 + q3 + q4 + q5 = ??
Watch the units. I would make sure everything was done in joules.
Another note: You must change grams to moles for the mass if using J/mole or change J/mole to J/g if you want to use mass in grams.
is the correct answer 68.93kJ?
I worked it through and obtained 68.89 (the difference probably is rounding) kJ which I would round to 68.9 kJ (3 s.f. is all we are allowed) and your answer would be rounded to 68.9 kJ.
