These problems are best approached in a step-wise fashion.
The heat lost by the hot steam MUST EQUAL the heat gained by the cooler water.
Step 1: heat lost by steam going from 106.7º to 100º = q = mC∆T = (0.506 g)(2.01 J/gº)(6.7º) = 6.81 J
Step 2: heat lost by steam converting to water @ 100º = q = m∆Hvap = (0.506 g)(40.7 kJ/mol)(1 mol/18g) = 1.14 kJ = 1140 J
Step 3: heat lost by 100º water upon mixing = q = mC∆T = (0.506 g)(4.18 J/gº)(100-Tf) = 212 - 2.1Tf
Step 4: total heat lost by steam = 6.81 J + 1140 J + 212 - 2.1Tf
Step 5: heat gained by cooler water = q = mC∆T = (5.39 g)(4.18 J/gº)(Tf - 14.9) = 22.5Tf - 336
Step 6: Set heat lost to heat gained and solve for Tf (final temp)
6.81 J + 1140 J + 212 - 2.1Tf = 22.5Tf - 336
1359 + 336 = 22.5Tf + 2.1Tf
1695 = 24.6Tf
Tf = 68.9º
