    The amount of heat needed to vaporize the given amount of water is the product of the amount in grams and the latent heat of vaporization in cal per gram. That is,

    H = (540 calories / gram) (500 grams) = 270,000 cal

    Thus, the heat needed is 270, 000 calories. The answer is letter C.

    1 g = 540 calories

    500 g = ? calories

    Since the mass is 500 times 1 g, so the number of calories

    = 500*540 calories

    = 270,000 calories

    Best Option is letter C. 270,000 cal.
