Water evaporates at 100⁰C

So change in temperature = 100-20 = 80⁰C

Amount of water to be evaporated = 1 liter = 1L*1kg/liter = 1 kg

Specific heat of water is 1 calorie/gram ⁰C = 4.186 joule/gram =4186 J/kg

So heat required E = mcΔT = 1 * 4186 *80= 334880 J =334.88 kJ

So amount of heat require to evaporate water = 334.88 kJ
