To calculate the heat required:

Explanation:

Q = Q_"melting" + Q_"liquid" + Q_"evaporation" + Q_"steam"
Q = L_fm + mc∆T + L_vm + mc∆T
Q = (3.3 * 10^5)(0.100) + (0.100)(4180)(100) + (2.3 * 10^6)(0.100) + (0.100)(2000)(115-100)
Q = 33000 + 41800 + 230000 + 1000
Q = 305 800 J

A heat curve graph may be necessary to visualize this problem.
