How much steam would result


A chemist mixes 56.0g of CaO in a calorimeter and 100ml of H2O at 30 degrees Celsius.
The following reaction occurs"
    CaO(s) +H2O(l)--->Ca(OH)2(s)            ΔH= -16.0 kcal/mol
The heat capacity Ca(OH)2(s) is 19.2 cal/mol*degree Celsius and the heat of vaporization of water is 540 cal/g. Explain how much liquid water and how much steam would result?
