Amount of energy needed to turn water into steam
A
Specific heat capacity
B
Heat of Vaporization
C
Synthesis reaction
D
Vaporizing heat pressure
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -energy known as the latent heat of vaporization is required to break the hydrogen bonds. At 100 °C, 540 calories per gram of water are needed to convert one gram of liquid water to one gram of water vapour under normal pressure.

Detailed explanation-2: -The heat absorbed is calculated by using the specific heat of water and the equation H=cp×m×T. 4. Water is vaporized to steam at 100oC. The heat absorbed is calculated by multiplying the moles of water by the molar heat of vaporization.

Detailed explanation-3: -It takes 100 calories to heat 1 g. water from 0˚, the freezing point of water, to 100˚ C, the boiling point. However, 540 calories of energy are required to convert that 1 g of water at 100˚ C to 1 g of water vapor at 100˚ C. This is called the latent heat of vaporization.
