The total energy required is 47016 J.

What is specific heat?

It is defined as the heat required to raise the one degree temperature of the unit mass of a given substance.

Given by q = mcΔT

What is latent heat?

It is defined as the amount of heat required to convert a solid into a liquid or vapor, or a liquid into a vapor, without the change of temperature.

What are the steps to solve the problem?

(1.) Energy required to convert -10°C to 0°C  = q = mcΔT

q = (15 g)x(2.09 J/g·°C)(10°C)

q = (15 g)x(2.09 J/g·°C)x(10 °C)

q1 = 313.5 J

(2.) Energy required to convert 0°C ice to 0°C water = q = m·ΔHf

q = (15 g)x(334 J/g)

q2 = 5010 J

(3.) Energy required to raise the temperature 0°C water 100°C = q = mcΔT

q = (15 g)x(4.18 J/g·°C)(100 °C)

q3 = 6270 J

(4.) Energy required to convert 100 °C water to 100 °C steam = q = m·ΔHv

q = (15 g)x(2257 J/g)

q4 = 33855 J

(5.) Energy required to convert 100 °C steam to 150 °C steam = q = mcΔT

q = (15 g)x(2.09 J/g·°C)[(150 °C - 100 °C)]

q = (15 g)x(2.09 J/g·°C)x(50 °C)

q5 = 1567.5 J

Total heat energy =  q1 + q2 + q3 + q4 + q5

Total heat energy =  (313.5 + 5010 + 6270 + 33855 + 1567.5) = 47016 J

The total energy required is 47016 J.
