    575,000 J

    Explanation:

    1) Convert the mass of water into number of moles

    Molar mass of water: 18.015 g/mol

    Number of moles, n = mass in grams / molar mass

    n = 255 g / 18.015 g/mol = 14.15 mol

    2) Use the formula E = n * ΔH vap

    This is, you have to multiply the molar ΔH vaporization by the number of moles to find the total energy to boil the given amount of water.

    E = 14.15 mol * 40,650 J/mol = 575,395.5 J

    3) Round to the correct number of significant figures.

    The mass of water is the measurement with the least number of significant figures (3), so you must report the answer with 3 significant figures,

    E = 575,000 J ← answer
