q = -2.52 * 10^3"kcal"q=2.52103kcal

Explanation:

The idea here is that you need to take into account the heat given off when that much water goes from steam at 100^@"C"100C to liquid at 100^@"C"100C, and the heat given off when the liquid water is cooled from 100^@"C"100C to 10^@"C"10C.

You need to know the enthalpy of condensation of water, which tells you how much heat is given off when "1 g"1 g of liquid water 100""^@"C"100C is converted to steam at 100""^@"C"100C

DeltaH_"con" = -"2260 J/g"

Like wise, you need to know the specific heat of liquid water, which will tell you how much heat is needed to increase the temperature of "1 g" of water by 1""^@"C"

c_"water" = 4.184"J"/("g" ^@"C") = 1"cal"/("g"^@"C")

So, start by calculating how much heat is given off when you turn that much water from steam at 100""^@"C" to liquid at 100""^@"C".

q_1 = m * DeltaH_"con"

q_1 = 4.00color(red)(cancel(color(black)("kg"))) * (1000color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g"))))/(1color(red)(cancel(color(black)("kg")))) * (-2260"J"/color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g")))) = -9.04 * 10^6"J"

Now calculate how much heat is given off when the water cools

q_2 = m * c_"water" * DeltaT

q_2 = 4.00 * 10^3color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g"))) * 1"cal"/(color(red)(cancel(color(black)("g"))) color(red)(cancel(color(black)(""^@"C")))) * (10 - 100)color(red)(cancel(color(black)(""^@"C"))) = -3.6 * 10^5"cal"

Convert the first heat from Joules to calories

-9.04 * 10^6color(red)(cancel(color(black)("J"))) * "1 cal"/(4.184color(red)(cancel(color(black)("J")))) = -2.16 * 10^6"cal"

The total amount of heat given off will be

q_"total" = q_1 + q_2

q_"total" = -2.16 * 10""^6"cal" - 3.6 * 10""^5"cal" = -2.52 * 10""^6"cal"

Finally, convert the result from calories to kilocalories

-2.52 * 10^6color(red)(cancel(color(black)("cal"))) * "1 kcal"/(10^3color(red)(cancel(color(black)("cal")))) = color(green)(-2.52 * 10""^3"kcal")
