A sample of water of unknown mass is heated from 25 °C to 120 °C at 1 atm pressure. The water is first heated as liquid to its boiling point, then completely vaporised, and the resulting steam is further heated to 120 °C. The specific heat capacity of liquid water is \(4.18\ \text{J g}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}\), the latent heat of vaporisation is \(2260\ \text{J g}^{-1}\), and the specific heat capacity of steam is \(2.01\ \text{J g}^{-1}\text{K}^{-1}\). If the total heat supplied is \(1.20\times10^{6}\ \text{J}\), determine the mass of water originally present (in grams).
