Exactly $10.0 \mathrm{mL}$ of water at $25.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is added to a hot iron skillet. All the water is converted into steam at $100.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ The mass of the pan is $1.20 \mathrm{kg}$ and the molar heat capacity of iron is $25.19 \mathrm{J} /\left(\mathrm{mol} \cdot^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right) .$ What is the temperature change of the skillet?

Key Concepts

Thermal Equilibrium

Thermal equilibrium is the state in which two interacting systems reach the same temperature. Here, it is the idea that the skillet and the water (including its phase change) will exchange heat until they achieve a common final temperature, allowing us to calculate the temperature change of the skillet.

Latent Heat of Vaporization

Latent heat of vaporization refers to the amount of energy needed to change a substance from a liquid to a vapor at its boiling point, without raising its temperature. In this problem, the water absorbs a significant amount of energy during the phase change from liquid to steam.

Heat Capacity

Heat capacity is a measure of the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree. It may be expressed on a per-mass basis (specific heat capacity) or per-mole basis (molar heat capacity), which is particularly useful when dealing with substances like metals where atomic or molecular details are known.

Conservation of Energy

This principle states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred. In the context of this problem, the heat lost by the hot skillet must equal the heat gained by the water as it heats and changes phase, ensuring the overall energy balance of the system.
