<u>Answer:</u> The amount of energy absorbed by water is 5390 Calories
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the amount of heat absorbed at normal boiling point, we use the equation:

where,
q = amount of heat absorbed = ?
m = mass of water = 10 grams
 = latent heat of vaporization = 539 Cal/g
 = latent heat of vaporization = 539 Cal/g
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, the amount of energy absorbed by water is 5390 Calories
