Answer

Please see the work below.

Work Step by Step

We know that $Q_{water}=Q_{boiling}$ $\implies mc\Delta T=(\frac{1}{10})mL_v$ $mc(100-T_i)=(\frac{1}{10}mL_v)$ $c(100-T_i)=(\frac{1}{10}L_v)$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $(4184)(100-T_i)=(\frac{1}{10})(2257000)$ This simplifies to: $T_i=46^{\circ}C$
