~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"To completely boil water"  is incorrect ( = nonsensical = ) combination of  Physics terms/words/notions.

The correct formulation could // would be


            "How much energy in calories does it take to heat up 1.70 kg of water from  23°C to the boiling temperature? "


Or,  if you mean something different,  then express this different in other correct terms.


The appropriate words are  "vaporize",  "to convert to steam"  etc., depending on what you want to express . . .


To come to the forum with such formulation as in this post is the same as to come to a city square
keeping in your hands a placard with inscription written in  CAPITAL  LETTERS

Please do not refer to your professor and/or to other similar posts in the Internet.

I saw,  probably,  about five similar posts in the Internet,  and I can certify
that they all are written and disseminated by people illiterate in Physics.
