Given a vessel of specific volume and infinite strength and completely filled 
with water, can heat be added indefinitely to the water so the corresponding 
pressure would rise infinitely? If not, then what is the maximum temperature 
at which water will no longer absorb heat?

I have already submitted this to you. It is not a school question! I'm 49 
years old, I've read a little about gas laws, and it's hard for me to believe 
that water expands infinitely!
