Step 1 List the grams of substance and change of state.
Given  122 g of  \mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O}(l)\mathrm{\,to\,H}_{2}\mathrm{O}(g)

Need  kilojoules of heat to change state

Step 2 Write the plan to convert grams to heat and desired unit.

\begin{matrix}\text{grams of water}&\underset{\large{\small{\text{vaporization}}}}{\text{Heat of}} & \text{calories} & \underset{\large{\small{\text{factor}}}}{\text{Metric}} & \text{kilocalories}\end{matrix}

Step 3 Write the heat conversion factor and metric factor if needed.

\begin{matrix}1  g  of  H_2O(l  \to  g)=2260  \,\mathrm{J}&& 1   kJ  = 1000   J \\ \\ \frac{2260  J}{1  g  H_{2}O }     and     \frac{1  g  H_{2}O }{2260  J} && \frac{1000  J}{1  kJ}     and    \frac{1  kJ}{1000   J} \end{matrix}

 

Step 4 Set up the problem with factors.

112  \cancel{g  H_{2}O}\times \frac{2260  \cancel{J}}{1  \cancel{g  H_{2}O}}\times \frac{1  kJ}{1000  \cancel{J}}=276   kJ
