About how many calories would it take to boil a gallon of fresh water?

A calorie (kcal) is the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of 1 kg water by 1 °C. Water weighs about 1000 kg per cubic meter, which is equivalent to approximately 3.79 kg per gallon. Assuming the water is at room temperature (25 °C), it will take about 284 calories to raise one gallon of water to near boiling (100 °C).
In order to actually boil, at least part of the water must be turned into steam. It takes 540 calories per 1 kg to turn water into steam, so it will take some additional energy beyond the 284 to actually bring the water to a boil.

When making salt water for marine fish what ratio of water to salt do you need to keep the fish healthy?
One pound of salt for every one gallon of fresh water. Also, as the water evaporates, add only fresh water...and slowly! When I kept fish, I would drain half of the remaining water, then mix in the fresh water, then put the mixture back into the tank. This prevents the fish from getting a fresh water shock. The water will evaporate and leave the salt behind, so if you add more salt, it will be too much.
