Which one has more heat energy burning matchstick or boiling water?

Wood had heat of combustion of 14.84 kJ/kg, rough estimate of a match would weight about 0.12 g (assume dimension of 2mm x 2mm x 30 mm) and would contain only 1.78 kJ of energy when combusted with air. This same amount of energy is equivalent to 6 cc of boiling water (refer to room temperature of 25 C). Though not state the quantity of boiling water but it could say that a cup (250 cc) of boiling water had 44 time more energy than a match stick.

What energy does boiling water use?
heat
When water in a kettle is boil it transform energy into what?
Boiling Water OBV!
Is boiling water mechanicl or heat or light or chemical or electrical or nuclear energy?
Boiling of water is caused when we provide heat energy to water which then converts into mechanical energy when the water molecules gets excited and results in escaping the surface forming vapor pressure equal to atmospheric pressure leading to boiling.
Does boiling water have potential energy?
I think so.

water boiling
Why does water put out burning wood?
The burning wood needs heat and oxygen as fuel. When burning wood has heat it has energy and water can quickly deprive the wood of its energy. When water comes in contact with the burning wood it takes the heat and the water turns into water vapor, a gas. The gas rises, and therefore, the heat is quickly taken from the burning wood. This is all due to water having a low boiling point. Imagine pouring water on the burning wood. Steam and smoke is produced, which is the water taking the heat into the sky, extinguishing the fire.

What energy does boiling water use?
heat
Is boiling water endothermic or exthermix?
Boiling water is endothermic as the water needs to take in energy from its surrounding in order to boil.
What requires more energy melting or boiling?
Melting requires energy input or absorption because liquid water has more energy than solid water.
