Suppose that 0.95 g of water condenses on a 75.0 -g block of iron that is initially at $22^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ . If the heat released during condensation goes only to warming the iron block, what is the final temperature ( in $^{\circ} \mathrm{C} )$ of the iron block? (Assume a constant enthalpy of vaporization for water of 44.0 $\mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol.}$ .

Key Concepts

Conservation of Energy

This principle states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed in an isolated system; it can only be transferred or transformed from one form to another. In problems involving heat transfer, the energy released by one process (such as condensation) is equal to the energy absorbed by another (such as warming a block of iron), allowing us to relate and calculate changes in temperature.

Latent Heat of Vaporization

This is the amount of heat required to convert a unit amount of a substance from liquid to vapor (or released during condensation) at constant temperature and pressure. It represents the energy change associated with breaking or forming intermolecular bonds during a phase change and is expressed in energy per mole (or per mass unit).

Specific Heat Capacity

Specific heat capacity is the property of a material that characterizes the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one unit of mass of the substance by one degree Celsius. It is critical in determining how much a material's temperature will change in response to the absorption or release of heat.
