Superheated water is water heated above 100 C without boiling. Superheated water is thermodynamically unstable.

Superheated water is water heated above 100˚ C without boiling. Superheated water is thermodynamically unstable. Calculate the values of ΔSsys and ΔSsurr, and ΔSuniverse when 1 mole of superheated water at 110˚ C and 1.0 atm is converted to steam at the same temperature and pressure. (The molar enthalpy of vaporization of water is 40.79 kJ/mol, and the molar heat capacities of water and steam in the temperature range 100-110˚ C are 75.5 J/K-mole and 34.4 J/K-mole, respectively.
