3. Gary is working on a physics problem in which 100.0 g of water undergoes a phase transition from water to vapour. He comes up with the following answer for the amount of energy in the transition: (0.100 kg)(2.3 x 10° )(100.0°C) = 2.3x 10 J Is Gary's answer correct? If so, explain. If not, what mistake did Gary make?
