    11 g of water of volume 1 cm31\ \mathrm{cm^3} at 100∘C100^\circ\mathrm{C} is converted into steam of same temperature under normal atmospheric pressure (10510^5 Pa). The volume of steam formed equals 1671 cm31671\ \mathrm{cm^3}. If the latent heat of vaporisation of water is 22562256 J/g, the change in internal energy is
