A 30-kg iron block initially at 280°C is quenched in an insulated tank that contains 100 kg of water at 18°C. Assuming the water that vaporizes during the process condenses back in the tank, determine the total entropy change during this process. The specific heat of water at 25°C is cp=4.18 kJ/kg-K. The specific heat of iron at room temperature is cp = 0.45 kJ/kg-K. The total entropy change during this process is KJ/K.

### Problem Statement

A 30-kg iron block initially at 280°C is quenched in an insulated tank that contains 100 kg of water at 18°C. Assuming the water that vaporizes during the process condenses back in the tank, determine the total entropy change during this process. 

- The specific heat of water at 25°C is \( c_p = 4.18 \, \text{kJ/kg} \cdot \text{K} \).
- The specific heat of iron at room temperature is \( c_p = 0.45 \, \text{kJ/kg} \cdot \text{K} \).

The total entropy change during this process is \(\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\) kJ/K.
