This question is a little confusing in that BTUs are not generated in raising the temperature of anything; the input of heat is required. And if the questioner meant required instead of generated, then the question is still unanswerable as the amount of water must be specified, AND the starting temperature must be specified.

BlakeTo bring water from room temperature (around 70 degrees Fahrenheit) to boiling (212 degrees Fahrenheit), you need to add approximately 180 BTUs per pound of water. This is known as the heat of vaporization, which is the amount of energy required to change water from liquid to gas at its boiling point.
